EDMONTON, A

Vol. 18 No.5 -- 


St. Albert & Sturgeon 


to “big crunch” 


After BACM’s public pre- 
sentations of the proposed 
1900 acre annexation in St. 
Albert's northwest sector, 
the crunch between the City 
and BACM finally came at a 
Municipal Planning Com- 
mission meeting January 25S. 

The crunch and the ‘‘nub"’ 
came when City Develop- 
ment Officer Don Corrigan 
pointed out the (success of 
the proposal) worked on the 
‘‘assumption the govern- 
ment will build the by-pass 
... and the government may 
not contribute when Wood- 


Have 
aheart . 


This year the Alberta 
Heart Foundation will be 
cafivassing the business 
community of St. Albert. 
This is the first year a 
business canvass has been 
undertaken. Businesses will 
be approached by members 
of Beta Sigma Phi on 
February 7th to 9th the 
official Blitz Night for 
business canvassing. It is 
hoped this most worthy 
project will be enthusiasti- 
cally supported by our 
business community. 


lands and BACM want to get 
going.’ 

Mr. Corrigan was speak- 
ing to a delegation from 
BACM of Mike Rogers, Joe 
Jackson and Denis Price. 

‘You've got the nub of the 
whole thing,’’ Mr. Rogers 
replied to the MPC, ‘‘I'm 
glad its come out this way.” 

Mr. Rogers went on to say 
if there was no immediate 
solution to the northwest 
sector annexation, he’d agr- 
ee the next subdivision not 
be approved. 

‘*Access is the essential 
ingredient of approval of the 
next subdivision,’’ he said. 

The kind of access that 
would be needed for the 


_BACM subdivision is a sig. : 
e 


lane highway west of t 
trestle bridge on the Stur- 
geon River. It would provide 
access to a park area near 
Big Lake; another road would 
have to be built to filter off 
traffic from the new sub- 
division to the by-pass. 

All this of course has yet to 
be approved and even if it 
was, it would take 20 years 
for the fruition of the plan. 
By then Edmonton would 
have increased to one million 
population with St. Albert at 
75,000. 

Mayor Dick Plain paused 


Jail results after 
$132,000 drug seizure 


A 20 year old St. Albert 
man was sentenced last week 
in an Edmonton court to 
three years in prison for 
possession of 4,400 sticks of 
Thai marijuana for the pur- 
pose of trafficking. 

When sentence was being 
pronounced on Mark Gajb, 
Judge John Cormack said the 
deterring factor must be 
considered by the court when 
deciding punishment. 

‘‘A judge must weigh 
deterring the individual from 
committing a similar offence, 
as well as deterring others,” 
he said. 


Where toLook, 


He added that he could 
find very little that could 
excuse Gajb from engaging 
in such gigantic ventures ‘‘as 
you engaged in.”’ 

RCMP found the packages 
containing 13 pounds of 
marijuana hidden under in- 
sulation in the Gajb garage 
attic. Total value of the 
narcotics in March 1976, the 
time of seizure, was $132,000 

A spokesman for the St. 
Albert detachment of the 
RCMP said Monday (that 
detachment) had given its 
assistance to the Edmonton 
Drug Squad in a ‘‘joint

seemed. non: 


for reflection in all this. 

“The thing that concerns 
me is the impact of the 
westerly by-pass,’’ he said. 
And, in terms of the effect of 
a six lane highway with a 16 
foot berm would have on the 
quality of life, and ‘‘detract 
in terms of the tranquility of 
the environment, are we 
really prepared to face up to 
the consequences in St. 
Albert?’’ the mayor asked. 

Mr. Jackson said the pro- 
vincial government had ma- 
de a noise attenuation study, 
which could reduce the 
by-pass noise level, but not 
guarantee a ‘tranquil envir- 
onment.”’ 

Councillor Frank Lukay 


fnost find difficulties in how 
we would cope if the annexa- 
tion proceeded,’’ he said. 

‘*Resolutions just don’t 
happen ... as long as you 
appreciate the problems 
(you) face and we face, | am 
not convinced the answers 
are anyways here,'’ Coun. 
Lukay stated. 

At one point in the 
meeting chairman of the 
MPC Barry Breadner ques- 
tioned the statement in a 
brochure at a public meeting 
which hinted the annexation

venture."’ 

At the four day jury trial, 
Constable Bill Larocque told 
the court that although the 
sticks cost only SO cents to 
buy in Thailand they sell 
here for $50 a stick. The drug 
officer told the jury that a 
person could not use 4,400 
sticks himself and ‘‘that 
amount is there to be sold to 
other people."’ 

Testifying on his own 
behalf, Gajb said he's had no 
intention of selling the drugs 
and insisted he wasn’t even 
sure what the ‘‘green plant- 
like material’’ was, although 
he later suspected it might 
be something illegal. 

Before passing sentence 
Judge Cormack adjourned 
for a half hour to deliberate a 
pre-sentence report prepared 
on the convicted man, 

He then told Gajb he was 
fortunate to have had the 
background of a good family 
life and a good rapport with 
his family. 


lussed..."\I al- 


MacFarlane opposed 


is) Dist. 6 board goes on record 


as opposing annexation 


Although brief in duration, 
the regular meeting of the 
District 6 Protestant Sep- 
arate School Board Wed- 
nesday night was a feisty 
one, as trustees aired their 
differences on two major 
issues affecting present and 
re administration of sch- 
husiness. The implica- 
tions\pf the proposed 3600 
acre aRnexation to the city, 
andth@ public position of the 
on the draft devel- 
tem agreement with the 
ity fgr West Grandin School 
pé the subjects of some 
ated discussion. The fact 
of a forthcoming election 
gave added warmth to some 
of the board's deliberations. 

The wrangling began wh- 
en Trustee Don Munro 
proposed a motion that the 
board state its opposition to 
the proposed annexation. 
Mr. Munro said this position 
was based on the fact that, 
due to controversy over the 
recent West Grandin School 
draft development agree- 
ment, the board is unable to

build the much-needed sch- 
ool. He then pointed out that 
if the board is having diffi- 
culty providing facilities 
within the existing city 
boundaries, that the pro- 
posed annexation would only 
compound these difficulties 
by adding more areas for 
which the board must pro- 
vide. 

Mr. Murdo MacFarlane 
emphatically opposed this 


Statement, saying the boa- 
rd’s position should be a 
more positive one. He stated 
he felt that it was ‘‘obvious’’ 
that annexation would take 
place and that opposition 
would be ‘‘negative.’’ 

Mr. Munro countered, 
saying that the eventuality of 
annexation could not be said 
to be ‘‘obvious”’ until after 
the results of the plebiscite 
on February 7. Dr. Cuts 
stated his agreement with 
Mr. Munro, saying that as 
the town had requested in- 
put, the board should state 
its position. 

After Chairman Bill Web- 
ber requested that Mr. 
Munro clarify his statement, 
Mr. Munro asserted that the 
present council had been 
elected largely on a platform 
of controlled growth and that 
this annexation exceeded 
that description. He said that

from the draft development

Cadets perform at Lions conference 


On the evening of Satur- 
day, January 29, the St. 
Albert R.C. Air Cadet 
Squadron #533 band and 
color party were involved in a 
display at the Edmonton Inn, 
The Lions of Multiple District 


.37,. which,comprises, Mon... 


tana, Alberta, the Northwest 
Territories and Southeastern 
B.C., held a mid-winter 
conference at the Edmonton 
Inn and the color party and 
band were asked to present 
the flags of the United States 
and Canada, the Lions In- 
ternational flag and 533 
squadron banner, as well as 
music and present the head 
table for the governor's ball. 
During the display, the band 
formed an aisle up the centre 
of itself, up which the 
dignitaries who comprised 
the head table walked. The 
color guard did a _ pre- 
sentation-of-arms, and the 


flag bearers posted the col- 
ors. This display was per- 
formed before approximately 


1,000 people in the Crystal 
Ballrooms at the Edmonton 
Inn. As the band and color 
party marched out, we re- 
ceived a standing ovation 
from the delegates. It was a 


very different way of starting 
off a function such as this. 
We have been informed that 
this is the first time anything 
such as this has been done in 
North America. 


Rapid progress

and the school boards, the 
city wished to bring in more 
people, even though there 
are already difficulties In 
providing the existing area 
with school facilities. Mr. 
Munro stated that the city 
was making the move to 
annex in order to pay for the 
sewer system, and opined 
that education exceeded se- 
wers in value. 

At this point Mr. Mac- 
Farlane testily intervened, 
saying ‘‘we are a school 
board, not a city council, 
despite some board mem- 
bers’ aspirations to other 
offices,’’ and that this was 
not a matter for board 
comment. 

This brought a rejoinder 
from Mr. Munro, who said 
he fould it ‘‘strange that the 
chairman of the buildings 
and properties committee 
(Mr. MacFarlane) is trying to 
build a half-million dollar 
school but still thinks that 
annexation is none of the 
board’s business.”’ 


Mr. MacFarlane dismissed 
this as ‘‘double talk’’ and 
asked what motion was 
before the board. 

At this juncture, Chairman 
Webber spread some oil 
upon the troubled waters, 
saying that he understood 
Mr. Munro's concerns but 
agreed with Mr. MacFarlane 
about the inevitability of the 
city’s growth. He said he felt 
the board would be abdi- 
cating its responsibility in 
not accepting that growth. 
Dr. Cuts rejoined that some 
growth was fine but that the 
city ‘‘should put some brakes 
on it at least.’ 

A vote was taken on Mr. 
Munro’s motion and it was 
carried, with Mr. Mac- 
Farlane recording his oppo- 
sition. 


MAYOR'S LETTER 
REBUTTED 


The discussion warmed up 
again when Dr. Cuts sugges- 
ted that the board should 
reply to Mayor Richard 
Plain’s letter in the Gazette, 
January 19, regarding the 
delay in constructing the 
West Grandin School. The

mayor stated in the letter 
that ‘‘the reason for the 
delay stems from economic 
considerations and not from 
a draft agreement proposed 
by the city.’’ Dr. Cuts felt 
that the board should reply 
that this statement was not 
true, as they could not have 
accepted a tender until the 
development agreement iss- 
ue had been resolved. Mr. 
Webber interjected that the 
mayor's statement was not 
wholly ‘‘not true,’’ and Dr. 
Cuts amended his statement 
to ‘‘only partially true.’’ He 
then moved that the board 
send a letter to the Gazette 
and to all parents in District 6 
concerning the West Grandin 
School situation and the 
possible alternatives to whi- 
ch the board may have to 
resort next fall. 

Mr. MacFarlane vehem- 
ently disagreed, saying it 
was inappropriate for the 
board to ‘‘get down to that 
level’’ and that any state- 
ment should be restricted to 
board spokesmen. 

Trustee Shirley McCaffrey 
did not concur with this and 
in rebuttal quoted from a 
letter from Mr. L. Sitko, the 
board’s legal advisor on the 
matter. In the letter Mr. 
Sitko said that he ‘‘would at 
this point suggest that the 
board has one advantage -- 
public pressure. ‘‘Mrs. Mc- 
Caffrey added that it was 
time the board did something 
publicly about the matter. 
Mr. Munro agreed, saying 
that as Mr. Sitko had advised 
the board to meet with city 
officials as soon as possible, 
that the chairman should 
meet with the mayor to 
discuss the problems arising 
from the draft agreement. 
Mr. Munro went on to say 
that the public should be 
made awarejof the situation 
and presented with all the 
facts, instead of keeping the 
issue between the city and 
the board. 

Mr. Webber commented 
that this was ‘'O.K. if itis 
done in a manner serving 
both the town and the rate- 
payers’’ but that he did not 
“wish to enter a conflict with 
the city in the pages of the 
Gazette.’’ A vote on Dr. 
Cuts’ motion was taken, and 
the motion carried, but not

without a final verbal skir-

Cuts that he could record

parting shot, Mr. MacFar-

would not be a burden on 
existing St. Albert residents 
(financially). 

Mr. Rogers explained 
BACM was not precluding 
that it may have overlooked 
certain costs in the servicing 
of the area, adding that he 
was not an economic expert. 

But he emphasized ‘‘this 

should not be a great burden 
on existing residents.”’ 
Mr. Breadner suggested 
Mr. Rogers should have used 
the term ‘‘reduce,’’ in the 
context of the financial 
burden, and added, ‘I 
cannot accept there will be 
NO burden on existing 
residents.’” 

Discussion continued on 
the lines of how the sector 
should move forward at a 
reasonable pace, then Mr. 
Rogers threw in this remark: 


“To put it bluntly, St. 
Albert could screw BACM if 
it so chose .., you may adopt 
the general plan, where you 
put emphasis on the south- 
east sector and under this we 
could not accept financial 
responsibility for the burden 
on existing residents,’’ Mr. 
Rogers outlined. 

He pointed out that BACM 
had the means to expedite 
the northwest sector plan, 
with 50 years of experience 
in Canada and 20 in St. 
Albert. 

Earlier Mr. Rogers chas- 
tised the City saying it could 
produce a plan ‘‘and nothing 
would happen,’’ and he 
reminded the MPC that 
BACM was offering St. 
Albert the tools which would 
both benefit St. Albert and 
BACM ‘as it is our land,” 

With capital costs of $12 
million plus involved in the 


project, Mr. Rogers told the 
MPC ‘‘We are convinced St. 
Albert is in a unique 
situation (as it is) the only 


dormitory city in the province 
almost entirely dependent on 
residential assessment. 


Museum features 
owl exhibit 


Paintings, drawings and 
mounted specimens depict- 
ing the various species of 
owls found in the province 
have been assembled by 
Alberta Culture for a winter 
showing at the Provincial 
Museum. 

**A Parliament of Owls’’ - 
the collective noun expresses 
the dignity and wisdom long 
associated with these fascin- 
ating bitds - includes 26 
works by 12 Alberta artists. 
Their chosen mediums, ran- 
ging from oil paint on linen to 
watercolours, pencil, pen 
and ink, and acrylic, capture 
all 12 species of owls that 
have been recorded in 
Alberta. And 11 mounted 
specimens from the Mu- 
seum’s permanent collection 
allow the observer to com- 


pare the artist's rendering 
with the size, colouring and 
features of the actual bird. 

Visitors to the Provincial 
Museum are invited to take 
this opportunity to view 
these works by living Alberta 
artists, many on loan from 
private collections, and to 
enjoy the artistry of the 
Museum’s Natural History 
staff in preserving these 
examples of Alberta’s wild- 
life. 

‘tA Parliament of Owls”’ 
will be on display from 
December 10 to February 27 
in Feature Gallery #2 at the 
Provincial Museum. Admis- 
sion and parking are free and 
the Museum will be open 
every day except Christmas 
Day.

DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT BELLEROSE PARK 


The plan area contains approximately 1700 acres located all 
north of the Sturgeon River and east of Highway 2. The 
extreme north edge of the proposed development is two 
miles north of the Villeneuve Road. (Weigh scales] at the 
top of the north hill. 


Last evening, St. Albert Investment representatives held a 
public meeting at the Club Mocombo, About 50 people were 
in attendance and of these it was observed that most had 
some direct or indirect interest in the meeting. Following a 
three-quarter hour presentation, the chairman of the 
meeting called for questions from the audience which 
brought nil response, A 20 minute coffee break and another 
look at the sketches on the wall of the meeting room drew a 
few questions as the meeting resumed. Interested members 
of council included Mayor Plain and Councillors Smith and 
Throndson. 


Bellerose concept has been in the mill for a number of years 
and in August of 1974 the Gazette carried a full account of 
the proposed development. At that time it was estimated 
that 11 schools would be required, seven for the protestant 
system and four for the catholics. It was also estimated that 
the development would have about 330 children between the 
ages of two and six and the plan suggests about 80 of these 
may be accommodated in day care centres, The concept 
would bring in 25,000 people at full development.

Opinion sample shows 
mixed feelingsonarnexation — 


Three Gazette reporters 
this week conducted an 
informal sample of opinion 
from eligible voters on the 
annexation proposals. Forty- 
one persons were asked 


Trade Fair to be held on the 
last weekend in May. It was 
decided that at this time 
there is not enough infor- 
mation available to enable 
the council to make a 
decision on whether or not it 
will participate in the fair. 

A newspaper clipping was 
presented for study on a new 
speed trap being tested by 
British police. It instantly 
calculates the speed of a 
vehicle passing over two 
cables stapled into the road 
exactly 2 ft. 9 in. apart. The 
calculator converts into mph 
the time taken for the front 
wheels of a vehicle to travel 
between the two cables. The 
speedmeter can be set up or 
dismantled in about three 
minutes and will work even 
in fog and freezing con- 
ditions with the operator 
being 50 yards or more from 
the cables on the road. The 
truvelo speedmeter is made 
in South Africa, where rigid 
speed limits are being en- 
forced under full-saving laws 
and costs about $3,000. We 
express the hope that this 
sort of device will soon be 
available in North America. 

It was suggested that the 
council have a general 
meeting sometime in March 
or April to include safety, 
council programs and public 
information. It could be set 
up as @ panel with questions

Thirty-five of those inter- 
viewed said they would cast a 
vote, while six said they 
would not. 

The 82 answers to ques- 
tions two and three break 
down as follows: 21 people 
said no to the northwest 
annexation, 14 will vote yes 
and four were undecided. 
26 people interviewed will 
vote against the northeast 
annexation, eight will vote 
for it and three were 
undecided. 6 will not vote. 

Most residents spoken to 
seemed willing to make a 
comment about the proposed 
annexations to the northwest 
and northeast sectors of St. 
Albert, but were reticent 
about having their names 
published. 

Roland J. Laflamme, 2 
Mill Drive, general super- 
visory manager for Davis 
Automotives Stores in Ed- 
monton and St. Albert said 
he was in favour of the 
annexations if they brought 


NOT SCRUBBED DEEPER 


more money and ‘‘invest- 
ment to help the business 
community.’’ 

Other residents said they 
had moved to St, Albert in 
the first place to get away 
from the ‘‘big city;'’ so they 
did not want to see greater 
growth, 

Since it will take the best 
part of 20 years before the 
full effect of any annexation 
is felt, one resident com- 
mented, ‘*I don’t expect to 
be around that long.’’ He 
added that St. Albert needed 
more industrial assessment 
as, (with the annexations) 
taxes could go too high.

taxes if more people came 
into St. Albert, adding that 
they had talked about this 
with their neighbours. They 
were in favour of growth if it 
brought down taxes. 

Another resident said that 
city status, and the growth of 
St. Albert's northwest and 
northeast sectors, would help 
St. Albert stay independent 
from Edmonton. 

Quite afew people com- 
mented that the growth 
would not be an advantage 
unless more commercial and 
industrial development can 
be attracted to St. Albert. 

Mr. Harry Hutchings, 
owner-manager of Hutch- 
ing’s Shoes and a Grandin 
resident, was generally in 
favour of the annexation, 
terming it ‘inevitable."’ Mr. 
Hutching emphasized how- 
ever, that ‘the appropriate 
planning would have to be 
done’’ to make the annexa- 
tion a positive factor inthe 
town’s growth. He added 
that ‘‘a city doesn’t stop 
growing, and cannot remain 
stagnant.” 

A Forest Lawn resident 
tersely commented that ‘‘be- 
fore they add any more 
people, they should add 
more schools!’’ 

Some residents were even 
more vehemently opposed, 


as evidenced by a Sturgeon 
resident’s comment that ‘‘all 
the land concerned in the 
northwest annexation be- 
longs to BACM -- it is purely 
in their interest to annex." 
Shirley McCaffrey, District 6 
school board trustee and 
resident of Ridgewood Ter- 
race stated bluntly, ‘‘We 
haven't got the services to 
provide for the people we 
have. School boards are 
already having trouble pro- 
viding facilities due to re- 
strictions placed upon them 
by the municipal govern- 
ment."* 

Other residents were equ- 
ally firm in expressing a 
favourable attitude toward 
the annexation. One Brae- 
side resident gave reasons 
for his ‘* Yes’’ vote on Feb- 
ruary 7. *‘Edmonton won't 
be able to gobble us up if we 
are larger he said. ‘‘The 
town (St. Albert) will have 
control over a much larger 
area, and there is a much 
greater likelihood of getting 
another road.”’ 

Although many were opp- 
osed to the annexation, most 
referred to the inevitability of 
the city’s growth. Some said 
cautiously they were await- 
ing more information before 
making a decision.

U of A opens door 


to interesting collections 


Over the years the Uni- 
versity of Alberta has ac- 
quired, through donation or 
sometimes purchase, a great 
many collections of objects of 
aesthetic, instructional, or 
historic value. Far from 
being displayed, many of 
these collections lay neglec- 
ted and deteriorating in 
boxes and cabinets in various 
corners of the campus, for 
want even of adequate 
storage. Recently, however, 
say inthe last decade, the 
University and faculties and 
departments owning collec- 
tions have become increa- 
singly aware of the value of 
preserving and displaying 
these objects. Owner facul- 
ties and departments may 
now help themselves to the 
enthusiasm and experience 
of the University Collections 
Committee should they want 
to create a display. 

This the Classics depart- 
ment did. About three years 
ago the department, with 
encouragement and funds 
from the University Collec- 
tions Committee, initiated 
work that culminated in the 
opening in early June of last 
year of the W.G, Hardy 
Collection of Antiquities, and 
in the publication by the 
University Press in Septem- 
ber of Near Eastern and 
Classical Antiquities, a guide 
to the collection written by 


PIANO TUNER 


Jeremy Rossiter and Diane 
Dillenbeck of the depart- 
ment. W.G. Hardy, whose 
name the display takes, was 
head of the classics de- 
partment from 1938 until his 
retirement in 1964. The dis- 
play represents a small 
portion of the antiquities 
owned by the department 
and includes the best of the 
Menzies collection of Near 
Eastern antiquities, Greek 
pottery purchased by the 
department, Greek and Ro- 
man coins, some purchased 
through G, Hermansen, re- 
tired classics professor, and 
Roman glass purchased in 
1954 by Dr. Hardy from the 
Norton Collection in Boston, 
as well as a few donated 
pieces. 

One of the reasons that 
faculty and department coll- 
ections have not so far been 
made widely accessible to 
the University community 
may be that their use as 
instructional aids has not 
been explored. The Hardy 
Collection has now been 
integrated into some Classics 
courses, the catalogue being 


used as a text. 

From Near Eastern and 
Classical Antiquities, and to 
a lesser extent from the 
graphics accompanying the 
exhibit, one gets the more 
solid information on which 
these musings feed: histories 
of the excavated sites in the 


Near East and of the 
Classical antiquities repre- 
sented - pottery, glass, 


lamps, coins - and app- 
endices describing the tech- 
niques of producing pottery, 
glass and coins. 

The cooperation that br- 
ought about this interesting 
and eloquent display and the 
companion Near Eastern and 
Classical Antiquities is exe- 
mplary. One hopes that more 
such collective efforts are 
forthcoming; and, indeed, it 
is commonly felt by those 
concerned with the presen- 
tation to the University 
community of its collections 
that the W. G. Hardy 
Collection of Near Eastern 
and Classical Antiquities 
serves as a precedent for 
future projects.

Sturgeon Shoppers Plaza, St. Albert, Alberta, PHONE 
459-4471, 


This map shows an outline of a proposal by MLA Ernie 
Jamison for a two-lane paved road to by-pass the City of St. 
Albert to the west. The road plan is entirely outside the 
present boundaries of St. Albert, and Mr, Jamison is of the 
opinion that it could be completed from 137th Avenue to the 
Villeneuve Road by 1979. 


Once approval was given for hard surfacing 156th Street, 
170th Street and 137th Avenue from St. Albert to Edmonton 
in 1977, said Mr. Jamison, it was time to come up with a 
plan for a by-pass road, and an eastern by-pass presented a 
problem of prolonged delays. 


The white line at left, marked 1978-79 shows the proposed 
by-pass, with curved black line being the CNR track. White 
line at top of the map is the Villeneuve Road and the white 
line coming down from it at right is St. Albert Trail. 170 
Street is the white line running north-south at far lower left, 
marked 1977, and intersecting with white line running 
east/west, also marked 1977, which is 137th Avenue.$ 


This by-pass would serve two purposes according to Mr. 
Jamison, traffic presently using St. Albert Trai! from the 
northwest area of MD Sturgeon, and trucks from the 
Villeneuve gravel operations would be diverted to the 
by-pass. And many residents of the Lacombe Park and 
Mission Park districts of St. Albert would also use the 
by-pass route. 


To feed St. Albert’s downtown core, Mr. Jamison suggested 
that the city could construct an underpass at the intersection 
of Churchill Avenue and Riel Drive, and hard surface Riel 
Drive to the point where it would connect with the by-pass 
{near the former lagoon site]. 


Mr. Jamison feels that the taxpayers of St. Albert could 
receive a very viable bonus if the Riel industrial area could 
be extended between the by-pass road and the CNR tracks 
right up to 137th Avenue. Water and sewer services could 
be readily extended from the present industrial area on Riel 
Drive, and the extended area would have to be annexed to 
St. Albert. The city would be in position to develop an 
‘additional industrial tax base with the opportunity to 
provide many new jobs. 


The proposed widening of Grandin Road and the portion of 
Sir Winston Churchill Avenue from Riel Drive corner to 
Lavasseur is a cause of some concern, as residents have 
expressed to me, said Mr. Jamison. He felt the proposed 
by-pass would nullify the need and expense of widening 
these two roads. 


Referring to the annexation vote on February 7th, the MLA 
said the by-pass road would have to go through BACM 
property, either on the extreme west boundaries, or in 
consultation with BACM. He said he has made BACM 
aware of the proposal and was informed that BACM would 
be most co-operative. Mr. Jamison and Mr. Rogers of 
BACM both accepted an invitation from the MD Sturgeon 
Council recently to discuss road matters. The MD gave their 
approval of the by-pass, provided that such a diversion was 
on the immediate west boundaries of St. Albert.

Comments 
on Annexation 


Developer 


has some answers 


for citizen’s concerns 


Within the time constraint pressure in all parts of 


of meeting your publishing 
deadline, I would like to 
respond briefly to the letter 
from Mr. May, of which he 
kindly sent me a copy. 

- | have stated that ‘‘New 
neighborhoods in the north- 
west section would not be 
started until there is roadway 
access."’ 

- A water reservoir is 
required in Lacombe Park to 
provide storage and pumping 
facilities. This facility will 
increase water supply and 


Lacombe Park including St- 
urgeon Hospital, and the 
downtown, during peak de- 
mand periods. 

- The capital contribution 
from the northwest sector for 
the cost of additional fire 
fighting equipment, as well 
as the taxes from new 
residents, would improve the 
capability for fighting fires in 
every part of St. Albert from 
the central fire hall. 

- The sanitary sewer sys- 
tem, already developed, and 
incurred as a debt by existing 


residents, was designed for 
the growth of this sector, and 
recovery of costs from new 
development was inherent in 
the town's decision to con- 
struct same. 

- Control of both banks of 
the Sturgeon River by the 
City of St. Albert is no ‘red 
herring.”’ 

- The economic study by 
B.A.C.M., does provide for 
the payment of $2.9 million 
for construction costs of 
indoor recreation facilities 
and outdoor tennis courts to 
be paid by new development 
in the northwest. These 
would be accessable to all 
citizens, though one would 
anticipate that existing re- 
sidents would also seek 
facilities of their own. 

- There is no regional 
shopping centre proposed in 
the northwest annexation 


area, purposely, to encour- 
age development of the 
downtown. 

- It was a prerequisite of 
the economic study prepared 
for this sector that there 
should be no financial 
burden on the existing resi- 
dents of St. Albert. 

- B.A.C.M., and its asso- 
ciated Company of Standard 
General, have had a long 
standing record of positive 
contributions to the well 
being of St. Albert. We are 
proud of our performance, 

Mr. Mays’ letter is wel- 
comed as a means of iden- 
tifying community concerns, 
and it is hoped that this reply 
will be equally helpful.

Councillor writes on 


annexations 
and growth 


TO: CITIZENS OF ST. ALBERT 

Next week you are being asked to vote on the annexation 
of two areas to the City of St. Albert. The following are some 
thoughts on the matter which I wish to convey to you. 

1) The two annexations before you are being requested 
by the landowners in the respective areas and NOT by St. 
Albert as was the case in the annexation placed before you 
last year. The proposed use of the new annexed areas would 
be almost totally residential. 

2) Edmonton Regional Planning Commission (ERPC) has 
spent much time and effort studying growth alternatives 
which would provide for the NEXT HALF MILLION people 
anticipated in the Edmonton region by the year 2000. The 
alternatives developed basically consider a St. Albert of 
50,000 people, (which can be accommodated within existing 
boundaries) of 75,000, (which would need one of the

ST. ALBERT & STURGEON GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1977 -5 


The Gazette 


REFLECTS 


BELTECL2 


IP& Gaseye 


This week’s Gazette carries a number of letters and 
comments on the forthcoming vote on February 7th on two 
major annexations being proposed for St. Albert. There 
seems to be a lack of interest in the vote, which is in Itself a 
most unusual procedure, and it would appear the reason for 
the apathy is the feeling of people that growth is inevitable 
and almost impossible to control. 


Put briefly some points which may be worthwhile to 
consider are the following: For people anywhere in the 
Metropolitan Edmonton area, growth in any sector of that 
area will have an affect on all the people. The question is 
how far and how fast will that growth take us. Certainly 
Edmonton has the potential of becoming a great western 
city, with sister cities of St. Albert and Sherwood Park. Has 
the Met area also the potential of a Chicago or New York, 
and do we even need to think about that until 25 or 50 years 
down the road? 


The two annexations we are voting on will only double the 
size of St. Albert, but there is the Woodlands development 
by Carma going forward and council also plans to annex a 
further 6700 acres out of MD Sturgeon. This will include an 
industrial park using a small portion, according to Mayor 
Plain on ITV Tuesday evening. This would allow for a huge 
residential development as well, and extend St. Albert's 
boundary four miles east to 97 Street [Highway 28]. 


The services which BACM will put in for the northwest 
sector will provide increased water line capacity which Is 
definitely needed in Lacombe Park, including fire protection 
for Sturgeon General Hospital and area schools. This is a 
point worthy of serious consideration by voters since 
additional water capacity would be very expensive for the 
town to provide. 


The mayor has stated that St. Albert cannot afford to accept 
low cost housing, but as our boundaries expand by 
annexation it would appear fair to require of every developer 
in St. Albert that several hundred lots be reserved for low 
cost homes im accordance with good planning. Otherwise 
our young people are being and will be completely shut out. 
Such homes would also supply potential necessary people to 
man the jobs in a stepped up commercial-industrial 
development for St, Albert. 


The kind of study needed for people to make wise growth 
decisions have not come out of the Edmonton Regional 
Planning Commission Growth Studies. People need to know 
how much growth and what rate of growth will allow the 
taxation level to be held at a reasonable level, and when 
growth will require added services, at a cost that will 
outstrip the added assessment from growth. At what size 
and density will control of air pollution outweigh advantages 
of growth. At what point is syndicated crime attracted, and 
what kind of money is needed to control it. When should 
access roads be built - before or after the development? 
Surely experience is shown that these roads should go in 
BEFORE development. 


From any point of view this vote seems to be taking place at 
the wrong time and without giving people sufficient 
information and thinking time to make the best decisions. 
All that is happening at the Local Authorities Board this 
month is that one developer, BACM, are having a hearing, 
and the decision will be months away. The other 
development has not yet got a date for a hearing by L.A.B. 
in 1977. What is the rush?

Technology 
keeps on advancing 


The advances made by 
technology seem to be 
never ending. 

The November 20th issue 
of The Globe and Mail 
carried an article which 
described some of the ad- 
vancements made in this 
field. 

Canadian General Elec- 
tric Co. Ltd. of Toronto said 
that it had taken its devel- 
opment of the self-cleaning 
oven one step further with 
its Rapid Clean, ‘‘a new 
generation of self-cleaning 
ranges."’ Self-cleaning is 
done by holding a relatively 
high temperature - about 
900 degrees Fahrenheit - 
for two or three hours, 
turning greasy, tarry coat- 
ings into an ashy residue 
that may be wiped away 
with a damp cloth. CGE 
says the new faster models 
also give more reliable 
results by automatically 
extending the ‘‘hot’’ period 
when voltage drops. They 
are also said to reduce 
energy consumption by as 
much as 40 percent. 

The new CPT Rotary 111 
typewriter, from CPT Corp. 
of Hopkins, Minn. will print 
at 525 words a minute (from 
tape cassettes), more than 


three times as fast as its 
predecessor, the Rotary 11. 
One feature enables margin 
and tab settings to be 
recorded on tape for each 
document, and these are 
then followed automatically 
by the typewriter. 

Sperry Rand Corp. of 
New York has introduced 
the largest computer in its 
line, the Sperry Univac 
1100-80, said to have twice 
the power of the company’s 
previous largest system. 
The main memory ranges 
from two million to 16 
million characters. 

BHRA Fluid Engineering

Confederation 


By JIM SMITH 


Basically, there are three 
types of people in this world. 
The optimistlooks at a disas- 
ter and takes comfort in the 
knowledge that things could 
always be worse. The pessi- 
mist, in the midst of the same 
disaster, is terrified by the 
possibility of worse times to 
come. But the entrepreneur 
locks horns with disaster, de- 
termined to turn adversity 
into an asset. 


Optimists and pessimists 
are both rather vocal by na- 
ture; their attitudes are al- 
most always common know- 
ledge. But the entrepreneurs 
are too busy doing to spend 
time discussing, so their views 
are less likely to be aired in 
public. Which may explain 
why the entrepreneurial side 
of the current Quebec con- 
troversy has not been widely 
circulated, 


The pessimists, of course, 
are convinced that Quebec is 
on the verge of opting out of 
Confederation. The optimists 
believe that a united Canada 
will survive. But only the en- 
trepreneurs regard the Parti 
Quebecois election victory 
as an opportunity for con- 
siderable national benefit. 


Quebeg, like the other pro- 
vinces, is dominated by mul- 
ti-national corporations, The 
multi-nationals, being prima- 
rily controlled by residents 
of English-language coun- 
tries, have a natural tendency 
to give hiring and promo- 
tional preferences to Anglo- 
phones, But economic inde- 
pendence is just as serious a 


te 


Lastly - when things go 
right I feel we all forget who 
is responsible and what it 
was like. I said it once but I 
would like to say it again, 
“The equipment was handed 
out so well and so smoothly 
this year that I forgot what it 
used to be like.’’ Thanks Bob 
Couture, a job well done but 
this year I want to say and so 
do the players of the Red 
Roosters - the people we 
should thank is the Couture 
Family for letting their 
father and husband spend 
time to get our uniforms and 
equipment in order and out 
to us - Thanks. 


Terry W. Burns, 
Instructor - Lacombe Park 
Red Roosters.

Reconsidered 


problem for English Canada 
as for French Canada. 
eee 

Quebec, as well, has suf- 
fered in the past from the do- 
mination of the Church and 
an inferior educational sys- 
tem. It was the place to lo- 
cate a manufacturing firm de- 
pendent on low cost labour, 
that is until someone dis- 
covered Korea and Taiwan. 
And yet, the same threat to 
jobs exists in Ontario and 
Manitoba. 


“The most obvious cul- 
tural fact about Canada”, 
according to John Bulloch, 
President of the Canadian 
Federation of Independent 
Business, “‘is its lack of ho- 
mogeneity. Its attitudes and 
problems vary from province 
to province and from com- 
munity to community. All 
of Canada is facing social 
and economic change as we 
move into an era of expen- 
sive energy. To an entrepre- 
neur, these changes mean 
new opportunities. 

eee 


In other words, we need 
flexible policies that will en- 
courage the development of 
community-oriented, small 
firms that can meet the needs 
of regional or minority 
groups. Bigness, which by 
its very nature, must be cen- 
tralized and homogeneous, 
is a disruptive influence on 
Confederation. A framework 
of government policies to en- 
courage expansion of the 
small business community 
could unite our nation. That 
isn’t optimism or pessimism; 
it’s pragmatic entrepreneur- 
ship, the desire to turn im- 
pending disaster into wide- 
spread social benefit.

Sema RET TRAIT eects 
From ‘‘AMERICAN WAY OF DEATH” ...... 
Manchester Guardian Weekly 


Gary Gilmore, who finally died last week, seems likely to 
achieve in death an aura of heroism which utterly eluded 
him in most of his 36 years of life. The circumstances of his 
execution are tailor-made for the proliferation, En- 
tebbe-style, of sentimental big-budget epics featuring his 
ill-starred childhood, his long attested death wish, the 
suicide pact with his girl, and the long sequence of 
courtroom rulings and reversals which lasted until his final 
hour. As he died, the press and the television cameras were 
camped expectantly at the gates: the agents and promotion 
men were already well equipped with their glamorous and 
lucrative deals. Easy in this context, to forget the killings 
which set up the story: the casual assassination, on 
successive nights, of two men, a gas station attendant and a 
motel clerk, both in their twenties, working their way 
through college, married with young children, whose 
misfortune it was that Gilmore found them inconvenient: the 
motel clerk’s capital offence was that he pointed out to 
Gilmore that the noise he was making in his room was 
disturbing the other guests. 


The Utah court sentenced Gilmore to death and death was 
what he wanted: what in a sense he had always wanted, so 
that the testimony of psychiatrists, fallible but worth 
considering was the thought that eventual execution - so 
much easier a way to die, he once said, than conventional 
suicide - could partly have prompted the crime. It wasn’t his 
wish that relatives and campaigners for civil rights tried to 
prevent that execution: while execution remained on the 
statute book, Gilmore's claim to his just deserts must always 
have had some hope of succeeding. 


$$ 
QUEEN ELIZABETH 11 SILVER JUBILEE 
The Queen was born in London on April 21, 1926, the first 
child of the Duke and Duchess of York, subsequently King 
George V1 and Queen Elizabeth. Early in 1942 the Princess 
became Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, and on her 16th 
birthday carried out her first public engagement when she 
inspected the regiment. In a broadcast on her 21st birthday, 
she dedicated herself to serving the Commonwealth, a 
pledge she repeated on her accession to the throne on 
February 6th, 1952 when her father died suddenly. 


The Queen, as the reigning monarch, upholds democracy 
and is a permanent reminder to elected officials that they 
are the servants of the public. And on a planetary scale, the 
Queen links Canada to her Western European heritage and 
to her partners in the Commonwealth. The Silver Jubilee is 
thus an ideal time for Canadians to reflect on the benefits of 
constitutional monarchism. 


INDIANS RACIALLY INSULTED 

From Native Outreach 

Muriel Venne was on the receiving end of a public racial 
insult, similar to some she has heard as a Commissioner for 
the Alberta Human Rights Commission. 


In a prepared statement, Ms. Venne related the details of 
the incident. 


“I was driven to the International Airport by Elizabeth Scout 
to catch the airbus to Edmonton. Since we were almost an 
hour early we decided to go to the lounge. We found an 
empty table and as we sat down, one of three men at the 
next table said ‘F...ing Indians’ loud enough for all to hear. 


‘‘When the walter arrived, | brought this statement to his 
attention and he went over to the other table. The waiter 
cautioned them, but one of them replied, ‘Do you mean we 
have to be nice to those f...ing Indians?’ After this second 
outburst, I left immediately and contacted the R.C.M.P. 


“This type of abuse is quite common in public places in 
Alberta. However, what usually happens is that the Native 
person reacts by striking out, which is understandable. Very 
often though, they are the ones that end up behind bars over 
such an incident. 


“I would also like to point out that not one person in the 
lounge, other than an employee, was willing to come to our 
assistance. 


‘If Canada’s first citizens can not move freely around 
Alberta, without having their race insulted in this manner, 
what kind of society do we have? Yes, we have the Human 
Rights Commission of which I am a member, but these 
incidents will only cease when society, as a whole, will not 
tolerate this type of behavior,’ Ms, Venne concluded. 


From The Mayors Office 


Selection of alongrun growth strategy 


On February 7, 1977 the 
residents of St. Albert will 
have the opportunity of 
indicating to the council 
whether they are in favour of 
or opposed to the annexation 
of: (1) approximately 1900 
acres of land in the north- 
west sector of the city 
capable of accommodating 
approximately 28,000 people 
and/or (2) approximately 
1700 acres of land in the 
northeast sector capable of 
accommodating approxima- 
tely 24,000 people. Council 
will consider the results of 
the vote on February 8 and 
establish the policy position 
which St, Albert's officials 
and representatives will foll- 
ow in making their presen- 
tation to the Local Author- 
ities Board (L.A.B.) 


MULTIPLE 
VIEWPOINTS 


There are a number of 
different viewpoints held by 
various individuals and gr- 
oups inthe community re- 
garding the merits of each of 
the two annexation pro- 
posals. The viewpoints range 
from total outright rejection 
to total acceptance and they 
vary with the backgrounds, 
interest and the professional 
occupation of the groups and 
individuals considering the 


It is suggested that re- 
gardless of the diversity of 
interests and opinions, every 
resident voting on this ques- 
tion must determine the type 
of growth strategy which he 
or she feels should guide St. 
Albert’s long-run growth 
plans. These strategies can 
be considered in the follow- 
ing manner. 


(1] **LONG-RUN ZERO 
GROWTH” STRATEGY 


A “‘long-run zero growth”’ 
strategy would be evidenced 
by a vote cast in opposition to 
both annexation proposals. 
The raison d'etre for this 
viewpoint could be predicted 
on the viewpoint that St. 
Albert has sufficient land 
within its boundaries to acc- 
ommodate approximately 
55,000 population at the 
existing densities. Adherents 
of this strategy would argue 
that the gradual develop- 
ment of these lands would 
allow St. Albert to accept a 
reasonable portion of the 
500,000 people that are ex- 
pected to be added to the 
Edmonton metropolitan area 
within the next 30 to 35 years 
and still remain a small city 
status, a relatively high 
degree of civic responsive- 
ness and a distinct com- 
munity identity; 


question. 


A Look at 
Other Centres 


PLAN FIBRE PLANT FOR WETASKIWIN 


A petro-chemical plant, Wetaskiwin Film Fibres Ltd., 
which would provide 200 jobs in the area has been proposed 
by Joachim G. Moeller and Associates. The plant would 
produce synthetic baling twine, synthetic woven fabrics for 
industrial use in replacing jute in seed bags, and synthetic 
strapping used for binding. 

Wetaskiwin was chosen for the plant's location because it 
is close to the projected market, offered the most attractive 
land situation and has an attractive present and future 
labour pool. Plant officials say that negotiations were not 
finalized but that an announcement is expected in May or 
June. Of the 200 jobs that would be available, 180 would be 
filled by local labour, and most employees would receive 
specific in-plant training. 


LEDUC RESIDENTS FIGHT GAS PLANT MOVE 


Leduc residents fighting an application by Western 
Decalta to relocate a sour gas plant in the area may be 
looking at a battle against two, not one new plant. A Calgary 
firm, Golden Eagle Oil and Gas intends to apply for 
permission to operate a gas processing plant one mile north 
of the proposed Western Decalta Petroleum Ltd. site. 
Spokesmen for residents of the area say they are totally 
opposed to the locating of the Western Decalta plant which 
would process about two million cubic feet of gas daily for 
supply to Plains Western Gas and Electric, under contract. 

Councillors for the town of Leduc, however, have said 
they are not necessarily opposed to the application, 
providing proper consideration is given municipal planning 
and development, in view of the proposed plant’s proximity. 

In an Edmonton hearing on the matter, plant officials said 
the company had already suffered hardships from the delay 
in gaining approval for the plant, and said if approved, the 
plant would have minimal impact on the environment. 

Crucial to the discussion are the reliability of reserves in 
the firm's wells on the site and in the immediate vicinity. 
Accurate estimates of existing reserves were not available to 
determine the life-span of the proposed plant. The plant 
currently operates at Simonette, near Valleyview. 

The residents group is primarily concerned with 
long-term environmental effects, and have cited information 
claiming increased soil acidity from extended exposure to 
sulphur dioxide emissions. The group has called for 
continuous monitoring if the plant is approved. A date for a 
decision on the matter has not been set. 


[2] “LONG-RUN MEDIUM 
GROWTH” STRATEGY 


A ‘‘long-run medium gr- 
owth’’ strategy would be 
evidenced by a vote for one 
of the two annexation al- 
ternatives. Adherents of this 
viewpoint could base their 
argument on the observation 
that an eventual expansion of 
the population to 75 or 80,000 
by the year 2005 would 
benefit the residents in St. 
Albert by providing a mar- 
ginal reduction in certain of 
the utility costs and an 
increase in the possible 
range of major recreational, 
cultural and commercial fac- 
ilities and services made 
available to the residents in 
the community. One of the 
possible offsetting costs en- 
compassed in this strategy 
could be experienced in re- 
solving certain regional tra- 
ffic problems in the St. 
Albert - Edmonton corridor. 


[3] ‘LONG-RUN HIGH 
GROWTH” STRATEGY 


A “long-run high growth"’ 
strategy would be reflected 
in a vote for both of the 
annexation proposals. The 
primary basis for this view- 
point could be predicated on 
the desire to see St. Albert 
develop into one of Alberta's 
major regional urban cen- 
tres. A population of app- 
roximately 100 to 110,000 
people would provide the 
basis for the labour force and 
the market needed to acc- 
ommodate major commercial 
and industrial enterprises. 
As noted previously the re- 
gional transportation pro- 
blem would be one of the key 
factors that would have to be 
faced and resolved. 


CONCLUSION 


The St. Albert Council 
must make a decision with 
respect to its long-run 
growth strategy if it is to 
properly represent the com- 
munity at the L.A.B. hear- 
ings in February. Council has 
provided the citizens with the 
opportunity to present their 
viewpoint on this matter in 
order that they can obtain a 


fair and adequate cross- 
section of the population's 
viewpoint on a long-run 
growth matters. It is deeply 
regretted that this type of a 
complicated and complex 
matter could not have been 
delayed until our General 
Plan was completed and the 
results of the Edmonton 
Regional Planning Commis- 
sion's Growth Strategy re- 
ports were released to the 
general public. The facts of 
the matter are that we must 
either take a stand pro or con 
on the annexation matter in 
February or we will miss our 
only opportunity to set the 
general public's position 
before the individuals (L.A.- 
B. members) who will decide 
whether all, none or some of 
the lands proposed for ann- 
exation in the northwest 
sector will be added to our 
municipality. 

The comments that I have 
set out under “‘long-run zero 
growth,’’ ‘‘medium"’ and 
“long-run high growth’’ are 
extremely limited and are not 
intended to be a substitute 
for the detailed regional and 
general planning papers that 
we will all be considering in a 
few months time. It is hoped, 
however, that they will assist 
individuals in determining 
the type of long-run planning 
policy position they wish 
council to adopt at the 
annexation hearings. One 
point that should be noted is 
that the population estimates 
set out in each of the three 
growth strategies reflects the 
estimates that have emerged 
from certain detailed studies 
of the Edmonton region 
which will be released ina 
few months time, These 
studies indicate that each of 
the three strategies are 
possible alternatives that St. 
Albert could ‘‘reasonably’’ 
pursue within a regional 
growth framework. 
ework, 

It would be greatly app- 
reciated if a substantial 
number of residents would 
take the time to vote on this 
matter on February 7 and 
assist council in resolving 
this matter.

growing an offbeat plant. 
Offbeat and oddball plants - 
some beautiful, some inter-

dividing or taking cuttings 
from an existing plant. Keep 
the soil evenly moist; place 
the plant in fullsun, but keep 
the roots cool by mulching 
the top of the pot or by 
placing the pot within a 
larger one and layering the 
space between them with 
florist’s moss.

reward for cultivating this 
aromatic tropical herb. The 
botanical name of commer- 
cial ginger root is Zingiber. 

The variety known as 
Amonum Cardamon produ- 
ces cone-like yellow flower 
spikes among dark green 
lance-shaped leaves. The 
Costus gingers have leaves 
growing like spiral staircases 
on the stems and produce 
brilliant orange flowers with 
tagged petals. For large 
spikes of concave orange 
bracts from which emerge 
shy yellow blooms, try 
Curcuma Roscoena, 

Most gingers are grown 
from tubers or corms and 
need moisture during the 
growing season, drying off 
during their dormant period. 
The Amomum variety should 
be planted in an all-purpose 
soil mix; the Costus and 
Curcuma in a high-humus 
mix. All thrive in semi-sunny 
and semi-shady locations at 


average house temperature ° 


in evenly moist soil. Am- 
onum and Costus require a 
moderately humid environ- 
ment, while Curcuma should 
be kept in very moist 
surroundings. 

Flowering tobacco, Nico- 
tiana Alata Grandiflora, a 
perennial dwarf tobacco pl- 
ant bears many tubular 
blossoms, towering over its 
small, dark green hairy 
foliage. Surprisingly, its bri- 
lliant flowers, which range in 
color from pink through 
maroon, green or brown to 
white, are produced in 
shade, The little flowers will 
close on very sunny days and 
re-open again in the evening. 

You can start your flower- 
ing tobacco plants from seed 
in an all-purpose soil mix 
that should be kept wet at all 
times.

THE MILDER WEATHER LAST Sunday brought out the winter sports lovers to the hill 
dominated by the St. Albert Mission. When you see all the fun they are having for free it 
makes you think that winter is the one time of the year when facilities like expensive rec.

Albert both scenically and recreation-wise. 


7 Air Cadets in review 


By Cpl. Mike Parkin 

I had mentioned in this 
column last week that a tour 
to Vista 33 at the AGT 
Tower complex was planned. 
On Thursday, January 20 the 
entire squadron took part in a 
tour of Vista 33. The tour was 
enjoyed by everyone that 
took part. A quick look 
through the AGT Museum, 
which traces the origins of 
communication through early 
telephone systems to the 
present time and on into the 
future of communication, 
comprised the largest part of 
the tour. After this, the rest 
of our time was spent 
walking around the 33rd floor 
of AGT Tower, looking on at 
the twilight activities within 
the downtown Edmonton 


area.

Elke has won first prizes in

After years of experi- 
menting with various potting 
techniques and firing pro- 
cesses, Elke works mainly 
with hand-built, sculptural 
and wood-fired pottery. She 
is a specialist in raku - a 
glaze-firing process. Briefly 
it may be described as a 
bisquit-fired ceramic form on 
which the glaze firing is 


carried out very quickly in a 
pre-heated kiln. The rapidity 
of the low-temperature firing 
may produce ware which is 
fragile, but raku results are 
very exciting and dramatic, 
as you will see when you 
view Elke Blodgett's pottery 
display at the Library. The 
fascination of pottery lies in 
its endless variety of form 
and decoration - some of 
Elke’s pots are wheel-thr- 
own, but most of those on 
exhibition are hand-built.

comment on annexation 


Cont'd From Page 5 

proposed annexations) or 100,000, (which would require 
both annexations). In voting you should ask yourself what 
proportion of the regional growth you wish to see in St. 
Albert. 

3) Annexations have historically taken place when either 
the landowners, or municipality, or both, requested such 
before the provincial authority called the Local Authorities 
Board (L.A.B.). Often these annexations went ahead against 
the wishes of the municipality (e.g. the Carma annexation of 
1974 to St. Albert). A very basic and important change has 
now taken place in this procedure. Within the past year or so 
the Provincial Cabinet has made the final decision on 
annexations. This is why your vote is so important. A good 
vote regardless of the result will clearly tell the Cabinet your 
wishes so you have a real opportunity to influence the 
decision. 

4) In recent weeks B.A.C.M. has been putting forward its 
position for annexation in the northwest. You all received a 
small orange brochure showing the area in question. They 
make a couple of comments with which I disagree, and 
others where I feel B.A.C.M. has put forward some sensible 
and responsible proposals. The last item in the brochure 
states ‘‘an economic study has determined the assignment 
of financial responsibilities so there will be no burden on 
existing residents.’’ Having read the study, and having had 
the opportunity to question B.A.C.M. representatives at a 
recent meeting of the Municipal Planning Commission | do 
not feel the study shows there will be ‘‘no burden.”’ 
B.A.C.M. did however clearly say that if it were assured a 
development rate of 300 to 400 units per year for their sector 
they would be prepared to give a commitment that in fact no 
burden to existing residents would occur due to their 
development. | feel B.A.C.M. is responsible and sincere in 
making this offer, but you must realize to get what is offered 
St. Albert must assure them a permitted growth rate of over 


1,000 people per year for the next 20 years. 

An Edmonton Journal story of the past week claims Mr. 
Rogers of B.A.C.M. stated that St. Albert already has made 
a commitment to take 105,000 people by the end of the 
century. This is totally erroneous. The sewage system has 
within it the potential to be expanded at considerable cost to 
accommodate 105,000 people. I don’t consider that a 
commitment. The result of this plebiscite will be a much 
more binding commitment. 

5) Little information has been put forth by owners in the 
northeast annexation. Possibly it will be clearer after this 
weeks public meeting. 

6) In summary, the existing boundaries provide room for 
a population of 50,000. Restricting development to this 
would mean most of the future development would be in the 
hands of one developer, Carma. Some would argue we 
should have an alternate developer (such as B.A.C.M.) so 
there is room to negotiate. Others feel the interlocking 
ownership, and close relationships between developers, 
leaves little competition or potential for negotiation. There 
are arguments which favor concentrating development on 
Carma lands and the adjacent industrial site so services and 
roads can be provided at minimum cost. My experience on 
council has led me to the conclusion that development on 
two or more fronts makes it much easier for rates of 
development to get out of control. Pressures are placed on 
the council to develop, and once the lands are within the city 
boundary I feel it is only too easy for the council of the day to 
accede to the developer pressure, and open the flood gates. 

The time permitted to place information before you on 
this question has been all too short, but the timing of the 
L.A.B. hearing has forced consideration of the question at 
this time. I hope the above is of some help to you in making 
your decision. In conclusion let me repeat your vote is most 
important if you wish to influence the decision of the 
Provincial Cabinet and the future of St. Albert.

Whya 
costly vote 
on 


I attended the public 
meeting held by BACM last 
Thursday to find out what the 
February 7th, annexation 
vote was all about. 

I left the meeting much 
better aware of what BACM 
was proposing for the north- 
west sector, however, I was 
still somewhat confused as to 
why we are going to the polls 
over the issue. Is a vote 
really necessary? 

When St. Albert was in 
Town status last fall, our 
council decided that in the 
best interests of the people of 
St.Albert we would be better 
served if we attained City 
status. This decision was 
made by council without 
going to the taxpayers for a 
vote, and I commend council 
for reaching a decision. 
Whether or not it was a 
sound decision, time will 
only tell. 

Now another issue comes 
before council, which in my 
mind is no more important 
than changing to City status, 
yet council couldn’t reach a 
decision without putting tax- 
payers through a costly 
plebiscite. 

Is it because this is an 
election year council cannot 
decide the issue? If it's good 
for the City, then our council 
should accept annexation 
proposals, If it isn't in our 
best interests proposals sh- 
ould be rejected. We should- 
n't have to be subjected to 
added expense because our 
council cannot or won't carry 
out the duties of decision 
making we elected them to 
do on our behalf two years 
ago. ' 

When City council elec- 
tions are held later this year, 
I hope voters in St. Albert 
will consider candidates who 
are able to make decisions 
over those who waffle on 
issues that may affect them 
politically.

RESIDENT PUTS A DETAILED CASE FOR REFUSING 
ANNEXATION 


In regard to the petition by the majority of registered 
owners of a certain territory adjacent to St. Albert 
requesting annexation by the City of St. Albert, I wish to 
present my objection to such annexation insofar as I feel my 
rights to enjoy a certain quality of life will be varied by such 
annexation. As the only information available to the general 
populace in the circular prepared by B.A.C.M. (a copy of 
which is enclosed) I shall direct my comments specifically to 
this circular with the caveat that these objections apply as 
well to other annexation proposals, such as the Arcana 
Agencies, where the ultimate purpose is residential 
development. I am writing this letter as I am not, at this 
time, sure of whether I will be able to attend the Board 
hearings on February 8, 1977. It is unfortunate that these 
hearings are at 10:00 a.m. as this will not permit those who 
work to attend and express their opinions. Although | will 
discuss each of the major headings in the B.A.C.M. 
pamphlet; I would like to state as my basic premise that any 
increase in the population of the City of St. Albert at this 
time (or in the near future) is detrimental to the quality of 
life enjoyed by its current residents. 


ACCESSIBILITY 


We have no guarantee from the province or the City of 
Edmonton that they are prepared to upgrade existing roads 
or construct new ones to tie into roads the City of St. Albert 
or the developer may build on the western fringes of the 
annexed area. The residents were promised some 
upgrading of 170 and 180 Street and 170 Avenue to alleviate 
congestion on the St, Albert Trail, however any 
improvements have been at best minimal and insufficient. It 
is premature to talk of a western access to St. Albert or 
Edmonton until the Province has firm, finalized plans for 
regional transportation corridors. We would be further 
ahead to promote the concept of a northwest rapid transit 
rather than access roads which exist at present only in the 
minds of the developer. Present transportation corridors are 
insufficient to handle the traffic load at peak times. There is 
no promise that this will improve in the foreseeable future. 
To promise western access roads as part of this development 
is, I feel, in the least, misleading. 


WATER 


lam afraid I do not quite understand how the supply and 
pressure would be improved to downtown, Lacombe Park, 
and Mission. It is, I agree, conceivable that the hydraulic 
head created will help downtown and parts of Mission 
however the difference in head as far as Lacombe Park is 
concerned would appear to be insignificant. 


FIRE FIGHTING 


1 am in favour of any increase in this capability. Even at 
the present time there have been suggestions that the City 
of St. Albert fire protection could be improved for the 
current residents, For example, in Edmonton $50,000 worth 
of fire insurance in a homeowners all risk policy costs 
$131.00 per year. In St. Albert the same coverage is 
$163.00. I submit that to provide adequate fire fighting 
capability for the new area, even to the present level, does 
nothing to improve the overall capability of the present 
system. The argument by B.A.C.M. for improvement is a 
non sequitur, * 


DEBT 


1 seriously question whether in fact there would be the 
recoveries on the sanitary sewer system as stated by 
B.A.C.M. I would ask if the present system has the capacity 
to handle the increased load over the next twenty years? If it 
does not, of course, the system would have to be upgraded 
to meet the increased demands. The costs would be borne 
by the current and incoming residents and would be, | feel, 
more than the $4.7 million already spent as future payments 
would be in inflated dollars. 


PARK 


In terms of gaining control of both banks of the Sturgeon, 
I submit that this argument is a red-herring. I see no reason 
why the City of St. Albert could not simply petition to annex 
the necessary land adjacent to the river should there be a 
desire to control both banks of the Sturgeon River for 
development of a community park system. 


SCHOOLS/RECREATION 


I will not argue with the provision of school and park 
facilities. These are necessitated by planning considera- 
tions. What | would ask concerns what is meant by 
“recreation facilities."’ In a City where existing facilities do 
not meet the needs or desires of the residents it would seem 
inappropriate to talk of such for a new area until the present 
City facilities become reasonable. Is B.A.C.M. prepared to 
construct, for example, swimming pool, arena, and tennis 
court facilities to handle the increase in population? If so, 


pon February 7th 


what of the current population? - Will they be denied 
access? Who will pay for these facilities? Unless they can be 
more definitive perhaps this is not in the best interests of 
the citizens of St. Albert. 


DOWNTOWN 


Taking as a starting point the current state of commercial 
facilities in St. Albert I fail to comprehend how the addition 
of some 34,000 people will strengthen the viability of the 
downtown commercial area in any major fashion, 
particularly when there are plans for a regional shopping 
centre in this north-west annexation, Unless St. Albert 
becomes much larger (heaven forbid!) it will not be possible 
to emulate Edmonton and support the commercial variety, 
Eaton's, Simpson-Sears, The Bay, Woodwards etc. 
available there. Regardless, people will still go to Edmonton 
to shop simply because of the choice. 


FINANCING 


We are not given details of the economic study to 
determine the financial responsibilities. In light of the 
points raised concerning fire fighting, sewer, and 
recreation, I would question the statement that there will be 
no direct burden on the existing residents of St. Albert. 
Perhaps this is true in the long term (e.g. B.A.C.M.’s 20 
year time constraint), I would submit however that this is 
not true in the short term (5-10 years). 


BENEFITS 


In all of the presentations (pamphlets, public meetings 
etc.) we are told of the benefits which will accrue to the 
present residents of St. Albert. | submit that this is 
presently not the case. There are a lot of problems existing 
which I feel must be solved for the present residents before 
we can afford further annexation. The current traffic 
situation during peak periods is totally unsatisfactory - the 
road system as it is presently, cannot adequately handle the 
traffic volume. Until such time as the province has definitive 
plans for a regional system an increase in population would 
simply compound the situation. This is hardly a benefit to 
existing residents, Certain recreational, theatre, and good 
dining facilities in this town are non-existent. An increased 
load on presently overtaxed facilities is mot beneficial. 1 
could continue outlining arguments of overtaxed and 
inadequate facilities; for example | fail to understand how a 
regional shopping centre will benefit present residents 
when the current facilities are inadequate and the regional 
centre would probably be only adequate to handle the 
increased population etc. etc. I trust that you understand the 
problems. 

Should the citizens of St. Albert vote against the proposal 
I trust the Local Authorities Board will see fit to honour that 
decision and refuse the annexation request. If the vote is in 
favour then I would request that the Board give careful 
consideration to the points I have raised, as well as to the 
voter turnout at the polls. Too often there is a silent majority 
who do not take the time to exercise their rights because of 
the feeling that it is not possible to fight big corporations. 
The Board should also give consideration to the fact that the 
City is moving towards the establishment of a General Plan 
as to the manner and way in which the community would 
evolve. It would seem premature to consider annexation 
when such a plan is to be drafted. 

In concluding, 1 would like to state that I feel there is 
almost a ‘‘General Bullmoose”’ (the Li'l Abner character) 
attitude in this in so far as what is good for B.A.C.M. is good 
for St. Albert. | submit that this is not necessarily so. 


RONALD W. MAY. 


School Board Chairman 
commentson school 
agreement situation 


As a result of concerns expressed by a number of West 
Grandin residents, as well as a number of reports in the 
Gazette with regard to the proposed school in that area, I 
feel obliged to outline the situation, from the School Boards 
point of view, for the ratepayers in general, and the parents 
of the West Grandin area in particular. 

In early 1976 the School District received Recognition of 
Need, from the School Buildings Board of the Department of 
Education for the construction of a 6 x 6 Community Core 
School on our West Grandin site. 

The site is a four acre parcel located at Grenfell and 
Gatewood Avenues. Negotiations for the purchase of this 
land commenced in January 1969, between the School 
District and Integrated Engineering Ltd. Purchase price was 
agreed at $20,000.00 plus the cost of local improvements, 
which were later established at $22,275.00. This provided 
the School District with title to a fully serviced site for future 
school requirements. ‘ 

On June 23, 1976 the School Board directed the Architect 
to proceed with working drawings of the proposed school. 

On September 13, 1976 an application to construct the 
school was filed with the Town of St. Albert, 

In anticipation of the approval of the application, the 
plans were put out to tender in October, 1976 with bids to be 
opened November 26, 1976. It was felt that this provided 

mnle time in which to settle anv differences between 


ourselves and the Town. 

However, it was not until December 6, 1976 that the 
School District received a 22 page draft copy of a 
Development Agreement from the Town's solicitor. To the 
best of our knowledge this is the first time a School District 
in the Province of Alberta has been required to enter into an 
agreement of this type. Among other things, the agreement 
requires the School District to pay $8,000.00 in off-site 
charges to provide for the expansion of water supply, 
treatment and storage facilities, sewage treatment and 
disposal facilities. This and other cost factors, (such as the 
cost of local improvements) contained in the agreement, 
plus the concern that our acceptance of this type of 
agreement would establish a precedent in the province, lead 
us to believe that careful consideration of the agreement 
should be made by our solicitors and others. 

On December 22, 1976, at the School Board's regular 
meeting, the low bid was again reviewed. This review 
considered a number of selective reductions which reduced 
the initial building costs, as well as the effect that the 
unsigned Development Agreement had on any decision to 
proceed. After evaluating these two factors, the decision 
was made to reject the bid as it was some $33,000.00 over 
the estimated cost and that there were obvious delays 
resulting from the Development Agreement. Progress 
toward completion of the school is now delayed pending a 
satisfactory resolution of the Development Agreement and 
subsequent retendering of the proposed school. 

In the Gazette of January 19, 1977, the Mayor states that 
“the reason that the municipality has elected to enter into a 
legally binding business agreement with #6 stems from the 
fact that the Board questioned the legal rights of the 
municipality to require adequate parking for both staff and 
students at Paul Kane High School."’ 

The Board cannot appreciate this point of view for surely 
in a democracy it is the right of anyone to question a 
decision they feel to be incorrect. 


accommodated and there is 
every indication that this 
“‘residential’’ land is not 
going to sit idle for long. For 
example, there are already 
proposals to house 15,000 
people in Woodlands, 3,500 
in Cunningham Ridge and 
1,900 in Ball Estates. 

In the early 1970s, St. 
Albert carried the major 
portion of the growth in the 
Metropolitan area and asa 
result, we have a city's 
population but still have the 
shopping facilities, employ- 
ment opportunities and re- 
creational facilities of a small 
town. At this stage in its 
development, St. Albert 
badly needs a ‘‘breathing 
space"’ for services to catch 
up with the present popu-

lation. However, if these two 
annexation proposals are 
approved, we are, faced with 
another twenty years of 
excessive growth and in- 
adequate services. 

This will mean a popu- 
lation in excess of 100,000 in 
all too short a_ time. 
Residents need to indicate 
very clearly that this is not 
what they want. The pleb- 
iscite on Monday, February 
7th will give everyone an 
opportunity to make their 
views known on this issue,

St. Albert Protestant Separate School District No. 6 


Vote ‘No’ 


to both annexations 


I am very concerned about 
the move by developers and 
landowners to have their 
land annexed to St. Albert. 
One can not really blame 
them for trying to increase 
the value of their property in 
this way. However, their 
applications came at a time 
when St. Albert neither 
needs nor can handle growth 
in additional areas. 

It is not as though St. 
Albert's ‘population explo- 
sion’’ were over or even that 
the end is in sight. The 
growth rate is down from its 


“high” of about 20%, but it 
is still around the 10% mark 
and this is likely to continue 
for a few more years. 
Development agreements 
signed several years ago will 
ensure that St. Albert's 
population will reach 28,000. 
Residents can therefore look 
forward to several more 
years of the problems which 
are a legacy if excessively 
rapid growth. 

There is not even a 
shortage of residential land 
within St. Albert’s present 
boundaries. On the contrary,

At a special dinner club meeting last Wednesday evening,

distinction of being the club’s first male president. 
Treasurer Muriel McKinstry is to their right, and on the far 
right is Grace Jones, who will be the secretary of the club for

Toastmistress Club makes history 


By Eleanor Smoley 

The Sturgeon Toastmist- 
ress Club installed its new 
officers at a special banquet 
on Wednesday, January 26, 
1977. Eleanor Smoley, out- 
going president, presents the 


gavel to incoming president, 
Ted Langford. In accepting 
this symbol of his new office, 
Mr. Langford has earned the 
recognition for being the first 
male president in this Club’s 
history. 

As a matter of fact, Mr. 


Two one-act plays 


by Tom Stoppard to 


open at Studio Theatre 


Studio Theatre presents 
two one-act plays by Tom 
Stoppard, After Magritte and 
The Real Inspector Hound, 
as its third production of the 
Stage '77 season. They open 
February 10 and continue 
until February 19, with a 
matinee on Saturday, Feb- 
ruary 12. Performance times 
are 8:30 nightly and 2:30 
matinee. There is no Sunday 
performance. 

Tom Stoppard is a gifted 
young British playwright, 
whose Rosencrantz and Gil- 
denstern Are Dead stopped 
Broadway in its tracks some 
seasons ago. More recently 
Travesties and Jumpers foll- 
owed suit. 

The Real Inspector Hound 
centres around two drama 
critics sitting in a theatre 
audience, on assignment to 
review the premiere of an 
old-fashioned mystery melo- 
drama. As the two become 
caught up in the action of the 
play, they see their problems 
reflected by the action on 
stage, with the result that 
they assume the roles of the 
actors. 

The Real Inspector Hound 
is both a rollicking farce and 
a biting satire, and the 
combination makes for a 
remarkable theatre exper- 
ience, 

After Magritte is a shorter 
play performed as a cur- 
tain-raiser to The Real In- 
spector Hound, Stoppard 
translates the bizarre style of 
the painter Rene Magritte 
into stage terms with a 
mind-bending puzzle of cir- 
cumstances wherein the ch- 
aracters of the play interpret 


the circumstances in a comid 
mode which keeps the 
audience laughing while att- 
empting to figure out how 
the cards are played. 

The plays are directed by 
Dick Shank, senior member 
of the Department's direc- 
ting faculty, The designer is 
Lee Livingstone, instructor in 
design and director of the 
Alberta Barter Theatre.

ground in the vicinity of the 
Ronald Harvey School. The 
site of the project is to be at 
Langley Park, back from the 
street, on the present loca- 
tion of a baseball diamond. 

It was evident that the 
original spirit of the group 
remains undaunted as a 
business-like number of peo- 
ple attended the meeting for 
the purpose of information 
and the formation of com- 
mittees for the design and 
construction of each play 
“station.”’ 

In his opening remarks 
President Lee Carter told the 
group that a time limit would 
be in effect for the design 
and construction of the big 
toys. The time limit came 
into effect Tuesday, with 
installation of the structures 
slated for mid-March. Mr. 
Carter explained that the 
group had formed a society, 
in order to be able to receive 
monies, and that an interim 
board had been set up, 
manned by volunteers. He 
added that any interested 
person could join the society 
for a fee of $1. 


SOCIETY FORMED 


Jack Bauman, principal of 
Ronald Harvey School, en- 
larged upon the implications 
of forming a society. The 
group can now rent property, 
and no individual member 
can be held liable for any 
failure on the part of the 
society. The Society will 
operate under standard so- 
ciety bylaws, which require 
that a list of members be 
kept, a board of directors be

established, and that a 
quorum of seven be required 
for meetings. The Society 
must submit to an annual 
audit and stage an annual 
meeting prior to January Ist. 

The executive and direc- 
tors of the Society are as 
follows: President Lee Car- 
ter, Vice-President Gary 
Frost; Secretary Shirley Bia- 
lowas; Treasurer Frank Han- 
us; Directors: Grace White- 
house, Jack Bauman and 
Malcolm Holt. 

Prior to choosing com- 
mittee co-ordinators, Mr. 
Carter told the group that the 
plan to rent a warehouse or 
similar premises for con- 
struction of the play struc- 
tures had had to be changed 
and that this would now be 
done in the garages and 
homes of various individuals. 
He then referred the group to 
the handbook put together by 
architect Gary Frost, which 
sets out the various play 
categories upon which each 
construction and design co- 
mmittee will be based. 

The committees will be 
based on the following play 
categories and construction 
phases: site preparation; 
“‘scroungers’’; social; com- 
munications; air play; water 
play; performance play; noi- 
se play; earth play; portable 
play; quiet play; swinging 
play; sliding play; and clim- 
bing play. Each committee 
will decide upon the phil- 
osophy of their intent, the 
specifics of each play sta- 
tion’s requirements as de- 
veloped by the children and 
the student participation in 
the various phases. Once the

structure is decided upon, 
the committee will sketch the 
structure, make a list of 
needed materials and special 
tools, make a schedule of the 
phases of construction and 
decide upon the manpower to 
be used. Any specific needs 
will be submitted to the 
co-ordinating committee, 
who can also provide tech- 
nical advice. Over 472 people 
have signed a Petition of 
Commitment indicating their 
willingness to serve on these 
committees.

Regarding specific details

told the group that steel-

primary concerns now is 
gaining access to a flatbed 
truck with which they can 
move 80 cords of 8'4"’ 
telephone poles from Smoky 
Lake. The poles are a 
essential material in the 
playground’s construction.

Baha'i regional convention Feb. 4-6 


The Baha'is of St. Albert 
will be hosting a regional 
convention for the Baha'is of 
Northern Alberta in St. 
Albert this weekend, from 
February 4 to 6. This con- 
vention will also include two 
functions open to the public. 

Approximately 100 Baha’is 
from 20 Northern Alberta 
communities are expected to 
attend this regional con- 
vention. These people will be 
consulting on the affairs of 
the Baha'i Faith in Northern 
Alberta and will elect dele- 
gates to their annual national 
convention to be held in 
April. 

Since the Baha'i Faith has 
no clergy, it has developed 
an administrative structure 
run by laymen to handle its 
affairs. Baha'u'llah, the pro- 
phet-founder of the Baha'i 
Faith outlined this admini- 
strative structure approxi- 
mately 100 years ago and it is 
a prominent part of Baha'i 
teachings, This upcoming 
regional convention is a part 
of this administrative struc- 
ture. 

Another aspect of the 
Baha’i administrative struc- 
ture are elected institutions 
called Spiritual Assemblies. 
The Baha'is of St. Albert 
each year elect a Local 


Spiritual Assembly to pre- 
side over the affairs of their 
community. The National 
Spiritual Assembly of Ca- 
nada is the national govern- 
ing body of the Baha'is. This 
body will be elected at the 
upcoming national converm 
tion by delegates from across 
Canada. 

The international affairs of 
the Baha'i Faith are admini- 
stered by a body known as 


the Universal House of Jus- 
tice. This body is elected 
every five years and is 
situated in Haifa, Israel. 
The two public functions 
associated with this regional 
convention will be held in the 
Kinsmen Centre, on Larose 
Drive. These two functions 
are being called unity feasts 
and will take place at 8 p.m. 
on Friday and Saturday 
evenings, February 4 and 5S. 


A short audio-visual pre- 
sentation is planned for each 
evening which will feature 
the teaching and history of 
the Baha'i Faith. Refresh- 
ments will be served. 

The Baha'is of St. Albert 
are extending a most warm 
welcome to anyone interes- 
ted in hearing more about 
the Baha'i Faith to attend 
either one of these two public 
functions.

be held in the Alberta 
Legislature in Edmonton,

School students involved in

District 6 School Board Briefs 


The District 6 Protestant 
Separate School Board att- 
ended to the following items 
of business at their regular 
meeting on Wednesday, 
January 26, at the board 
office on Sir Winston Chur- 
chill drive. 


The Board heard a report 
from Doug Parkins of the 
Economic Policy Committee, 
saying the teachers were 
gratified at the sabbatical 
leaves granted and hoped the 
board will award more in the 
future. 


Trustee Don Munro repor- 
ted for the Education Com- 
mittee, saying that the 
committee will be holding a 
meeeting in the near future. 
One of the items to be 
discussed will be the im- 
plications of council's ter- 
mination of the Recreation 
Board. 


Buildings and Properties 
Committee Chairman Murdo 
MacFarlane reported that 
the siding on the Ronald 
Harvey portables is being 
re-installed. He suggested 
that a meeting should be 
held with the architect of the 
West Grandin School to 
discuss changes in design 
before that building is 


re-tendered. Chairman Bill 
Webber moved that the 
Buildings and Properties 
Committee meet with Dist- 
rict 6 staff and the architect 
to discuss these changes and 
report back to the board. The 
motion carried, 


The Board accepted the 
resignation of Ms. B. Cald- 
well, effective immediately. 


Mr. MacFarlane moved 
that the Board grant a leave 
of absence to Mrs. K. Iseke 
for April 4, 5, 6 and 7. Mr. 
Webber opposed the motion, 
saying there was ample time 
during June, July and 
August for travel and that 
teachers should be available 
during the school year. The 
motion was denied. 


Mr. MacFarlane moved 
that a leave of absence be 
granted Mrs. Kane for the 
1977-78 school year. Mr. 
Webber disagreed, citing the 
School Agreement. He said 
that it would be bad business 
to guarantee a position in a 
year’s time if there was not 
one available. However, he 
added that in recent times 
positions had been available, 
and that if the person in 
question were to re-apply,

By Sue Hoffart, 
Community Development 
Co-ordinator 

In order for a community 
school to function in the true 
community sense of the 
word, there is a very vital 
component that must be 
present. This is parents, 
acting as volunteers. There 
‘are an endless number of 
functions that parents can do 
in a school setting. Besides 
helping in the classroom as 
teacher aides, parents are 
very valuable when utilized 
on task forces for a specific 
function. Specialized needs 
often occur on a non-con- 


Bertha Kennedy Community School 


tinuing basis and volunteers 
are recruited for the special 
task, and then disbanded. 
Most of us tend to be 
somewhat cautios when co- 
mmitting ourselves to the 
performance of some service. 
There are some things that 
we generally want to know 
before we promise our time 
and efforts. An important 
factor for most people is the 
magnitude of their com- 
mitment. Understandably, if 
volunteers are selected with 
the expectation that they will 
remain active for an entire 
school year, many are likely 
to be hesitant. However,

TEEN SCENE 


Last weekend a very'successful 
double-disco was held at the 
United Church (Purple Church) by 
East Side Teens. The main reason 
it was so successful was due to 
the hard work of club members 
Mindy, Joanne, Albert, Steve, 
Dean, Wade, Kirk and Dave. It 
would never have got off the 
ground either if it weren't for the 
support of Mr. and Mrs. Cole, Mr. 
and Mrs. Moore, Mr, and Mrs. 
Zylstra, Mr. and Mrs. McConagie, 
Mr. and Mrs. Dempster 
Kutzner, Mr. and Mrs. Demery 
and Dave Peters, It takes alot of 
manpower to put on an event like 
this but it provides ervised 
entertainment for approximately 
four hundred kids last Friday and 
Saturday night. The teens would 
also like to thank Rev. Musto and

Nu - West Canadians Quebec bound 


If the Prairie provinces 
were looking for a group of 
17 boys to represent Western 
Canada as minor hockey 
league ambassadors and to 
display on centre stage the 
product of its environment, 
then the St. Albert Peewee 
BB Nu-West Canadians 
would undoubtedly fill the 
bill. 

This young, robust, heal- 
thy-looking team of 12 and 13 
year olds will be undertaking 
an experience and the 
practical education of a 
young lifetime as they head 
off to Quebec City on Feb- 
ruary 8, 1977, to participate 
in the prestigious 18th Inter- 
national Peewee Hockey 
Tournament held during the 
popular Quebec Winter Car- 
nival. 

The 17 are carrying with 
them the appreciation and 
the individual responsibility 
of representing their city and 
their province to the best of 
their ability, in a courteous 
and sportsmanlike manner 
both in and out of the arena. 

These young diplomats 
will be afforded the opp- 
ortunity of cultivating fr- 
iendships with boys their 
same age from approxi- 
mately 110 teams entered in 
this world renowned tour- 
nament. They will meet and 
converse, as only young 
people can and do, with 
players from all -parts of 
Canada, the United States 
and Europe, and as far away 
as Finland and possibly the 
USSR. 


The St. Albert Curling Rink has been a busy place the past two days and today, Thirty-two 
rinks participated in the three day event which is winding up today. Next week’s issue of the Bonspiel. 


From the day these repre 
sentatives leave St. Albert 
until the day they return, 
which is February 19, a 
program is planned which 
defies the imagination but 
which will be richly re 
warding and action packed 
Their time has been planned 
in a manner which will be 
beneficially time consuming 
but not exhaustive. 

The team coaches, mana 
gerial personnel and acc 
ompanying fans, will depart 
Edmonton via commercial air 
line on February 8 and arrive 
in Montreal the same day 
The following morning a tour 
of the Olympic Stadium and 
Olympic sites will be under 
taken as well as visit to the 
legendary Montreal Forum, 
the St. Lawrence Seaway 
System, and other various 
points of interest. That same 
evening the group will em- 
bark by train to Quebec City 
where they will be met and 
greeted by the welcoming 
committee of the Inter- 
national Peewee Hockey 
Tournament. From this point 
the boys will be taken aside 
and billeted by French- 
Canadian families who will 
be responsible for each boy 
during his stay. 

It is this open-armed 
hospitality and warm-heart- 
edness which will prevail and 
become one of the major 
highlights and lifelong 
memories which each boy 
will carry back to the Wes! 
with him. Living, sleeping, 
eating, conversing, playing, 


enjoying each others com 
pany and cultural aware- 
nesses and differences, and 
most of all, accepting each 
other in the true spirit of 
friendship will provide them 
with a viewpoint and educa

Sabres beat Leduc twice, tie Bantam league leaders 


With only four minutes left 
in Friday night's game with 
the Leduc Blades, Keith 
Heyburn led the St. Albert K 
of C Sabres to a 6-4 victory 
when he scored a tie-break- 
ing goal unassisted, and 
went on to add an insurance 
marker with only 16 seconds 
left to play. Sonny Gramlich 
and Cameron Swist both 
assisted on the final goal of 
the hard-fought game. 

The Sabres held a 1-0 lead 
after the first period when 
Sonny Gramlich scored on a 
pass from Kurt Bokenfohr. 
The second period saw Ross 
McRae score on a pass from 
Shane Antoniuk, with Scott 
Holliday chaling up an assist. 
Third period goals were 
turned in by Troy Murray, 
unassisted, and Brad Scott, 
assisted by Ross McRae. A 


little relaxation after the 
Scott goal permitted the 
Leduc squad to bang in three 
goals to tie up the score, until 
Heyburn’s heroics saved the 
day for the Sabres. 

Ben Chabot blocked 29 
drives during the evening, 
while the Sabres peppered 
the Leduc netminder with 47 
shots. There were 12 minor 
penalties called, with six for 
each team. 

The win was the Sabres’ 
17th against three losses. 
They still trail Fort Sask- 
atchewan for the lead, 
although the Sabres have one 
game in hand. 


ST. ALBERT 4 -

The two teams faced off 
again on Saturday afternoon 


in an entertaining but pen- 
alty-ridden game at Leduc. 
Twenty-six minor infractions 
were penalized, with the 
Sabres drawing 11. 

Ross McRae opened the 
scoring in the first period 
assisted by Shane Antoniuk 
and Troy Murray. Keith 
Heyburn racked up a goal 
early in the second period, 
with Kurt Bokenfohr and 
Cameron Swist drawing as- 
sists. Leduc evening the 
score at the halfway mark of 
the second period, and 
scored an unassisted goal in 
the third with only seven 
minutes left, giving the 
Blades a 3-2 edge. 

The Sabres surged back

the clock when Sonny Gram- 
lich scored from Shane An- 
toniuk. Twenty-four seconds

The sabres took on the

moved in a little on the title 
when they tied the Fort team 
4-4, 


Keith Heyburn chalked up 
the first Sabres’ marker in 
the first period, assisted by 
Sonny Gramlich and Camer- 
on Swist. Although they 
outshot the Fort 9-6 in the 
second period, there were no 
Sabre goals recorded. The 
Fort’s Movold and Mokosak 
both added goals. In the 
third period, Sabres Captain 
Troy Murray tied the game 
up at the one minute mark, 
with assists by Ken Myck 
and Sonny Gramlich. Brad 
Scott added one more, aided 
and abetted by Shane An- 
toniuk and Troy Murray. 
However, at the nine-minute 
mark, the Fort came back for 
the tie. 

Some hard defensive play- 
ing and some great goal- 
tending by Sabres goaltender 
Ben Chabot kept the score 
tied up, but a scuffle broke 
out after a hard check on two 
Fort players. The Sabres’ 
Scott Holliday and the Fort’s 
Mokosak were sent off for

paring and vigorously work- 
ing and practicing for since 
the 1976-77 hockey season 
commenced. 

The style of play through- 
out this particular tourna- 
ment differs from normal 
Alberta Minor League play in 
that the rules prohibit body 
checking. To allow for this 
change in tactics, coaches Al 
Laplante and Ed Rusnak 
have been, and will continue 
to hold twice weekly practic- 
es until completion of count- 
down. The practices are 
intended to create a cohesive 
and well-balanced fast ska- 
ting playmaking unit and add 
the finishing touches and a 
fine edge to a team which is 
presently in first place at the 
time of this writing in the 
Alberta North Central Pee- 
wee League. 

All personnel concerned 


with the formation of this 
team and the managerial 
personnel involved in putting 
the journey together should 
be highly commended for 
their enormous amount of 
time and expertise which has 
been contributed solely for 
the welfare of the Nu-West 
Canadian Peewee BBs. A 
bouquet should also be given 
to the citizens of St. Albert 
who wholeheartedly endor- 
sed this venture by their 
support and contributions 
during fund related activities 
carried out by the Peewee 
reps such as raffles and 
bottle drives. 

So to you St. Albert, thank 
you. And to you, the Peewee 
reps, we wish you bon voy- 
age and good luck. 

And should you fail to 
return with silverware pack- 
ed in your luggage, then who 
cares. St. Albert will know 
they sent their best, who did 
their best, and who can ask 
for more.

Four years ago the juvenile 
hockey players of St. Albert 
had a dismal future. They 
had no coach, no league to 
play in, and the Edmonton 
Minor Hockey Association 
had prohibited their teams 
from playing even exhibition 
games with St. Albert be- 
cause of previous incidents. 

A coach volunteered, a 
league was found, and 17 
boys came out to play. They 
were: Dave Grice, Scott 
Ballentine, Randy Reinbolt, 
Don Keith, Kris Nickerson, 
Doug MacKenzie, Guy Hill, 
Larry Kozachuk, Gary Br- 
uins, Mike Davies, Claude 
Regimbald, Matt Lister, Ro- 
ger Meunier, lan Langridge, 
Geoff Holden, Terry Kieser. 

They were local boys with 
initiative. They got them- 
selves a sponsor and became 
the St. Albert Generals. 
Their first year they won 22 
of 24 games. They went to 
the Provincials in Stettler, 
and lost in the final round. 
On coming home, they found 
their ice time had been taken 
away for their final game in 
the best out of three series, 
and therefore, on goals for 
and against, they were one 
goal short. Matt Lister, that 
year, scored 75 goals. 

Although they received no 
publicity, town recognition, 
or community club support, 
these boys didn’t quit. 

Next season the Kinsmen 
failed to attend a meeting on 
time to get St. Albert 
juveniles into a league at all. 
But, the boys were deter- 
mined. It was a cold winter, 
and because ice was app- 
arently at a prime in the 
arena, they skated out of 


Generals team history 


doors twice a week. They 
practiced and played at a 
moments notice. Their coach 
managed to get the ban 
lifted, so that the boys could 
at least play exhibition 
games against Edmonton ju- 
venile boys. 

The boys went to a tourna- 
ment at Drumheller at 
Christmas, and came in 
second, winning $125.00. 
With that money, pius 
selling raffle tickets, they 
raised money in order that 
they could go to the pro- 
vincials in Lethbridge. 

There was no fanfare at 
home, no town recognition, 
no publicity. This may be a 
scoop! Here is the team that 
captured that 1974 Provincial 
Juvenile ‘A’ championship. 

A new season, and again 
the same outlook. Dedicated 
boys with no league, and it 
looked like no ice. The coach 
managed to get the team 
accepted into the Tier 2 
Alberta Junior ‘B’ League. 
Teams in this league skate 
everyday, and many get paid 
allowances to play the game. 
How would they stand up? 

Ice time being short in St. 
Albert the Kinsmen agreed 
to give the Generals game 
times only, and no practices. 
Again, the boys, with their 
determination, practiced out 
of doors and jumped into a 40 
game schedule. It was a 
grueling beginning. Many 
injuries and sore muscles, 
but few complaints. 

This 1975S team played a 
good, clean, exciting stan- 
dard of hockey. A credit to 
their hometown of St. Albert. 
It had been a long struggle, 
in poor conditions but, the 


fans were turning out and 
they were getting a little 
recognition, and had a good 
sponsor. 

They made the playoffs, 
beat out Jasper, and lost to 
Edson in a super series. 
Terry Kieser received the 
award as the most gentle- 
manly player for the ex.tire 
league. Members of that 
team were: lan Langridge 
(C), Pat Frewer, Scott Ball- 
entine, Greg Thibert, Gil 
Bilodeau, Ralph Chambers, 
Gary Ferguson, Steve>Fore- 
man, Denis Gagne, Dave 
Grice, Lloyd Olson, Terry 
Kieser, Matt Lister, Murray 
McLaren, Barry Medori, 
Roger Meunier, Claude Reg- 
imbald, Norbert Scholz. 

Last summer the St. Albert 
General Junior Hockey team 
built a home at #1 Larose 
Drive. to help support their 
team financially. They re- 
ceived a lot of help, but 
altold, about 19 boys, from 
previous and present teams, 
came out at one time or 
another to help. 

This year the team is off to 
a good season. At present 
they are in third spot in the 
league. This year, they have 
game times, plus a Tuesday 
practice, if there is no game. 
Members of the 1976-77 
team are: Ralph Chambers, 
Norbert Scholz, Steve Fore- 
man, Roger Meunier, Murr- 
ay McLaren, Matt Lister, 
Mike Taschereau, Geoff Ho- 
Iden, Bob Mills, Jim Grant, 
Les Hrdicka, Randy Patrick, 
Dave Shipanoff, Blaine Gal- 
braith, Jim Gervais, Richard 
St. Martin, Bernie Fizer. 

This team history has been 
printed in the Gazette to help 


ST. ALBERT 


familiarize you with the team 
as there was no program 
printed this year. It is worth- 
while to note that during the 
four years, out of 45 players, 
36 have been local boys. 
Players from out of town 
have been well received. 
After all the effort these 
young men of St. Albert have 
put forth to play hockey, it 
seems odd that this year, 
with the town having pro- 
gressed to city status (via 
population growth), and 


there still only being one 
arena, that where before 
there was no ice time, or 
league, for even one juvenile 
hockey team, there is sudd- 
enly enough time, and lea- 
gues for three. It is odd that a 
Provincial winner was never 
acknowledged, yet now we 
are always informed of 
juvenile progress. 

Don't get the wrong 
impression! Our future com- 
munity leaders stem from 
our young men of today. St. 


Albert has a lot of players, 
and they should all have a 
place to play, if possible, and 
should all be given recogni- 
tion for their efforts. How- 
ever, it is always easier to 
step on the floor after the 
groundwork has been done. 

So, this is a simple 
validictory to those ST. 
ALBERT GENERALS HOC- 
KEY PLAYERS for all that 
groundwork.

Pair of losses drops Generals into second place 


For the first time this 
season, the Standard Gener- 
als dropped into second place 
in the western division of the 
Alberta Junior ‘B’’ Hockey 
League. 


LLOYD OLSON 

Generals lost 5-2 at home 
last Tuesday to the red hot 
Barrhead Elks and then 
travelled to Hinton Sunday 
afternoon and took a 6-2 
thumping by the Cardinals as 
ex-Generals Lloyd Olson and 
Carey Winquist did most of 
the damage. Olson scored 
three goals and added a pair 
of assists while Winquist was 
outstanding in goal. 

As a result of the two 
losses, Barrhead Elks moved 
into first place in the western 


division one point ahead of 
St. Albert and are now in 
second place in the overall 
league standings. 

Lloydminster Border Bla- 
zers continue to lead the 
league while St. Albert, 
Vermilion and Wainwright 
are all tied for third place. 
Generals have nine games 
remaining in the schedule 
including two games each 
against Barrhead, Vermilion 
and Vegreville and single 
encounters with St. Paul, 
Wainwright and Edson. 

The games with Barrhead 
will no doubt tell the story as 
to who finishes in first place 
in the western division. 
Barrhead have been on a 
winning streak of late and 
appear to have the Generals 
number as they have now 
won their last three starts 
over St. Albert. 

St. Albert just can’t seem 
to get things working for 
them as they usually outplay 
their opponents but have 
trouble finding the net when 
it counts. Barrhead had no 
trouble on Tuesday as they 
led the game from start to 
finish.

were tied with Hinton at two 
goals apiece midway through 
the second period but then 
the roof fell in and Hinton 
scored three goals in five 
minutes for a 5-2 lead going 
into the third period. 
Olson, who played spar- 
ingly for the Generals early 


in the season before quitting 
and going to Hinton led the 
way with three goals and 
assisted on two others for a 
five point night. Linemates 
Perry Wall and Aaron Gal- 
braith [2] added the other 
Cardinal goals while Win- 
quist came up with some 


excellent saves to help the 
Cardinals in their upset win. 
Roger Meunier and Jim 
Grant scored for the Gen- 
erals.

ville tonight for a game with 
the Rangers who have yet to 
win a game this season and 


on the weekend they will host 
Vermilion Saturday night 
and Vegreville Sunday after- 
noon. A pair of wins over 
Vegreville would certainly 
help if the Generals hope to 
keep in the race for first 
place in the Western Divi- 
sion. 


Momentum building for Kids Day 


When the Edmonton Ex- 
hibition Association and the 
Edmonton Oilers throw open 
the Coliseum doors on Sat- 
urday, February S for their 
first annual kids day, the 
youth of Edmonton will be in 
for a treat. Despite the full 
Oiler practice to be con- 
ducted, the more than 100 
door prizes to be awarded, 
the autograph session to be 
held, the highlight of the day 
is still shaping up to be the 
game between the Oilers and 
the Edmonton Media mem- 
bers. Larry Mitchell will 
represent the Gazette. 

Through the hard work 
and generous co-operation of 
the Edmonton Exhibition 
Association and their mar- 
keting director Don Clarke, a 
first class show is guaran- 
teed. The exhibition, in sup- 
port of the Edmonton Minor 
Hockey Association who will 
receive all net proceeds from 
the day, is donating the use 
of the Coliseum, practice ice 
time, the services of their 
staff, and much more, to 
insure the success of this 
undertaking. 


TOP NOTCH OFFICIATING 
GUARANTEED 


Babe McAvoy, one of the 
finest referees to ever work a 
game in Edmonton, has gra- 
ciously agreed to come out of 
retirement for this one time 
only. Babe has twice retired 
from officiating, and once 
even had burned his sweater. 
(He was wearing it at the 


time). McAvoy has announ- 
ced that due to Coliseum 
building regulations conc- 
erning pets, he will call the 
game without his trusty dog 
Hiram, who is usually 
attached to Babe's left hand 
by a special harness. 
Linesmen for the event will 
be provided under the kind 
auspices of the CNIB who 


have also provided Mr. Mc- 
Avoy with a special hockey 
rule book in braille. 

The big day will begin for 
the kids at 9 a.m., with the 
Oilers practice slated for 
9:30. The all-important ho- 
ckey game will follow, and 
after a short interval for 
tempers to cool, autographs 


will be signed on the main 
concourse. Throughout the 
morning over 100 door prizes 
will be given away. 
Admission is only $1.00, 
and all net proceeds will be 
presented by the Edmonton 
Exhibition Association and 
the Oilers to the Edmonton 
Minor Hockey Association. 


St. Albert hammers Ardrossan 


The Sabres have finally 
proved to Ardrossan that our 
St. Albert boys are number 
one. 

In previous matches St. 
Albert has had trouble with 
Ardrossan, however this 
game was St. Albert’s from 
the first whistle to the last. 

Shane Antoniuk and Troy 
Murray led the club with 
each notching two goals and 
an assist. Starry forward 
Keith Heyburn had another 
excellent game scoring a 
beautiful winning goal, as- 
sisting on Antoniuk’s second 
goal and combining with first 
year sensation Scott Holliday 
in setting up Sonny Gramlich 
on his goal. 

Ken Myck continued to 
provide scoring punch as he 
netted an excellent short- 
handed goal and assisted on 
centreman Andre Lavallee’s 
goal.

The Mite A Lacombe Park 
Red Roosters travelled to 
Grande Centre on Saturday, 
January 29, 1977 to play a 
Grande Centre Mite All-Star 
team. For the first time this 
year the boys played three 
periods of 20 minute stop 
time hockey. The.game was 
fast and there was only two 
minor penalties called in the 
entire game - a tripping 
penalty to each team. The 
boys played well with the 
Red Rooster’s skating away 
with a 9-4 win. It was a total 
team effort with D. Findly 
getting two goals and singles 
coming from R. Huot, C. 
Valliere, D. Labuick, R. 
Marianix, R. Gamache, G. 
Bull and M. Holzer. 

After the game the boys 
were treated to hot dogs and 
hamburgers by the Grande 
Centre team. From their the 
team travelled to Bonnyville 
to spend the night. Thirty- 
five people spent the night in 
two cabins on Moose Lake.

Good clean hockey 


Albert boys played the 
Bonnyville Mites and ran 
into a checking club which 
stopped the boys from scor- 
ing as often as the previous 
day. The game again was 


three periods of 20 minutes 
and the St. Albert squad 
needed a third period burst 
to win the game. It was tied 
at 3-3 with seven minutes to 
go in the game when St. 


Albert broke loose for seven 
goals and won the game 
10-3. The scoring came from 
D. Findly with four goals, R. 
Huot and M. Holzer with two 


apiece and singles going to 
C. Valliere and G. Bull. 
Note - At Bonnyville 
there wasn't one penalty - a

CAHA, Labatt join in coaching program 


Special To The Hockey News 
LONDON - A program to 
develop the standard of 
hockey coaching in Canada is 
in progress and the results 
will insure that Canadian 
hockey youngsters will be 
better trained in the future. 

The extensive program is a 
joint project of the Canadian 
Amateur Hockey Association 
and Labatt Breweries of 
Canada, both of whom are 
collaborating in the attempt 
to upgrade Canadian coach- 
ing standards, 

Don Johnson, president of 
the CAHA, and Labatt pre- 
sident Don McDougall an- 
nounced earlier in the year 
that their two organizations 
were anxious to put their 
heads together on the cer- 
tified coaching program that 
will encompass over 50,000 
coaches at six different 
proficiency levels in 12 re- 
gional branches across Can- 
ada. 

Labatt's has committed 
both financial resources and 
their marketing experience 
to the CAHA, at the national 
and regional level for a 
minimum period of three 
years. Financially the com- 
pany will contribute $100,000 
annually in the form of 
regional assistance grants, 
national coaching seminar 
assistance, and improved

promotional and instruction- 
al tools including the latest in 
instructional films. 

“The national certification 
program is the largest single 
program of the CAHA,"’ said 
Johnson. ‘‘We are pleased 
that Labatt's has taken this 
interest in amateur hockey 
and we look forward to 
working with their people 
now and in the future."’ 


McDougall said the CAHA 
involvement represents La- 
batt’s keen interest in being 
involved with associations at 
the ‘‘grass roots’’ level. He 
said Labatt’s personnel 
would be cooperating with 
local CAHA people across 
Canada to ensure the pro- 
gram’s success.

Wally Sosinski played goal 
last Tuesday evening against 
the Grand Hotel Cardinals. 
The Sun Devils managed a 
15-9 victory, with hat tricks 
coming from Wayne Biggs, 
Boris Luciw, and Alex 
Ciesielski. 

Then, on Sunday, against 
the Smokers, the Devils 
showed their strength on a 
larger floor, and won 13 to 3. 
Ken Russ, who was suffering 
a strained leg played a strong 
game in the nets. The Sun 
Devils scored in the first 10 
seconds of the first period, 
and all three lines kept up 
the pace throughout the 


game both offensively and 
defensively. 

Leading scorers were: 
Boris Luciw, Alex Ciesielski, 
George Coward and Blain 
Schamber.

UNIFARM 


concern on land purchase 


Firm legislative action to 
curtail the purchase of agri- 
cultural lands by foreign 
interests was requested by 
Unifarm in its annual sub- 
mission to the provincial 
cabinet on January 26. 

In its brief, the farm 
organization observed that 
though such control mea- 
sures may be distasteful to 
some landowners, they are 
necessary for the benefit of 
the majority of Albertans. 

Unifarm questioned the 
government's stated position 
that foreign ownership re- 
presents only a minor share 


Air Cadets 


#524 Sturgeon Air Cadets 
have had a busy schedule 
since we last reported. The 
instruction time at the regu- 
lar parades, held in the Bon 
Accord Community Hall ev- 
ery Tuesday evening from 
7:30 - 9:30 has included 
lectures on meteorology, 
leadership, CB radios and 
other types of communica- 
tions. 

On November 15, the 
Squadron had first aid 
classes in the Bon Accord 
Arena, conducted by Army 
Reserve Officer Capt. Gibson 
who was assisted by Const. 


of the province’s total farm 
land area, pointing out that 
many loopholes exist to cir- 
cumvent monitoring. It also 
observed that foreign in- 
vestors, generally, are selec- 
ting only top quality land. 
Unifarm President Dobson 
Lea stated that apart from 
the distressing prospect of a 
significant part of Alberta 
farm land being owned by 
financial interests in other 
parts of the world, the farm 
organization is deeply con- 
cerned about the effect of 
foreign investment on the

We are hoping to be able 
to have more classes in the

province. 

Regarding the preservat- 
ion of prime farm land, the 
Unifarm submission expre- 
ssed concern that indis- 
criminate encroachment on 
farm lands by non-agri- 
cultural developments will 
ultimately result in much of 
the province's productive 
land being paved over, or 
seriously disturbed, while 
large areas of the remainder 
will be owned by foreign 
investors. 

The brief observed that 


Legal cut-off scene of road death 


The Legal ‘‘cut-off,"’ about 
three miles west of Bon 
Accord, was the scene of a 


taking of prime agricultural 
land for residential develop- 
ments also makes little sense 
and suggests that lands of 
less agricultural value could 
be used equally well for this 
purpose. As an example, it 
points to coal fields west of 
Edmonton where poorer qu- 
ality agricultural soils have 
been disturbed and could 
easily be reclaimed for resi- 
dential requirements without 
the loss of productivity that 
would result from a similar 
development on prime farm 
land,

During the first weekend 
of December the squadron 
attended camp at Camp 
Wright. The cadets enjoyed 
various activities such as 
outdoor sports, compass tr- 
aining, a winter trek, and the 
usual camp chores. They all 
reported an enjoyable time. 
A special thanks goes to the 
parents who attended the 
camp. We hope to see you all 
back again at the next one. 
All parents are welcome and 
encouraged to come and see 
just what goes on. Brothers 
and sisters are also welcome. 

On December 19, a snow- 


Basketball 
tournament 
held 


On Saturday, January 29th 
Georges P. Vanier High 
School hosted their annual 
boys and girls basketball 
tournament. Teams came 
from Legal, Redwater, St. 
Mary’s, Westlock and Van- 
ier. The tournament con- 
sisted of three teams in each 
section. Boys - Vanier, Legal, 
Redwater; Girls - Vanier, 
Redwater, St. Mary’s. 

Competition was excellent 
and most games were very 
close. 

In the boys section Vanier 
defeated Legal 39-28, Legal 
edged Redwater in overtime 
56-52, and Vanier came from 
behind to squeak by Red- 
water 49-45, The victory in 
both games automatically 
declared Vanier as tourna- 
ment champions without 
having a playoff final. 

In the girls section Vanier 
defedted Redwater 55-10, 
and later St. Mary’s defeated 
Redwater 45-16, and in the 
final match of the day, 
Vanier defeated St. Mary's 
47-23 which also advanced 
Vanier Girls to the tourna- 
ment winners circle without 
the need for a playoff final. 

Vanier would like to 
extend a big thanks to the 
teams involved for an ex- 
cellent day of competition 
and display of good sports- 
manship by all. 


shoe party was held at the 
home of Carolyne and Fred 
Hutchings. Their garage was 
decorated with Christmas 
lights and a small tree, straw 
bales were provided for 
sitting on, and the old pot 
bellied stove was stoked up 
for heat. Thanks to the 
generosity of Capt. Buxton 
and the Airborne Cadets in 
Edmonton, there were suff- 
icient snowshoes for almost 
everyone there to be out at 
one time. The cadets are 
used to snowshoes, but we 
‘elder’ cadet guests found 
out that we have lost some of 
our stamina. We noticed one 
“‘older’’ cadet merrily snow- 
shoeing out in the field, but 
he was treading very care- 
fully when he came back. 
Feet a little tender, Norm? A 
lunch of chili dogs, hot 
chocolate and coffee, squares 
and cookies, oranges and 
candy canes ended the after- 
noon, 

The squadron did not hold 
any meetings during the 
Christmas holidays, as usual, 
but have started the New 
Year with a vengeance. Their 
first parade was on the first 
Tuesday of January, and the 
meeting of the parents and 
civilian committee was also 
held that evening. Remem- 
ber that there is a meeting 
the first Tuesday of every 
month, and all parents are 
asked to please attend, At 
this meeting, there were 
plans made for some bake 
shoots, a parade especially 
for those who have made 
donations to the squadron, 
and the bean supper held in 
conjunction with the winter 
carnival in Bon Accord, We 
are holding these functions 
to make the money needed to 
pay for the various extra 
curricular activities of which 
the cadets partake. There is a 
small amount donated from 
headquarters every year, but 
the rest is up to us. 

On January 13 the cadets 
went to see the Ice Capades 
in Edmonton, This year the 
cadets were asked to pay for 
their own tickets because our 
financial situation would not 
permit buying tickets for the 
whole squadron, Outcoming

fatal accident last Saturday. 

An Edmonton man, Kurt 
Henrique Friesen, 27, of Ste. 
9, 10443 - 156 Street was 
killed instantly when the 
vehicle in which he was a 
passenger collided head-on 
with another vehicle about 7 
p-m., January 29. 

The accident occurred on 
Highway 28 at the Legal 
cut-off, west of Bon Accord. 

The driver of the vehicle, 
Lawrence Grohn, 22, of 
10340 - 156 Street, was in 


Morinville 


serious condition in the Royal 
Alexandra Hospital in Ed- 
monton, 

Another passenger, Eldon 
Brown, 22, of 12950 - 102 
Street, escaped serious in- 
jury and has been released 
from hospital. 

The driver of the other 
vehicle, Steve Krowchonski, 
73, and his wife Pauline, 
suffered only minor cuts. 
They were given treatment at 
the hospital and released. 


sewer system 
could go regional 


Morinville Mayor Art Sta- 
pleton said last week that 
town's proposed sewer line 
could become part of a 
regional system. 

Mayor Stapleton has been 
forced to ‘‘go it alone’’ on a 
$1.8 million sewage treat- 
ment system as an alter- 
native to a $3,985,000 tie- 
in with the St. Albert sewer 
system. 

Three way negotiations 
between St. Albert, Morin- 
ville and the MD of Sturgeon 
have failed to realize the 
tie-in with St. Albert. 

But the MD of Sturgeon 
gave strong support earlier 
this month for Morinville 
going ahead with the plan for 
the new treatment plant. 

Agreements had been 
signed between St. Albert 
and Morinville on the origin- 
al tie-in proposal, but the 
real breakdown seems to 
have occurred between the 
MD and St. Albert. 

Mayor Stapleton says gr- 
ants and other senior go- 


Dairy 


vernment money will be 
available for projects like this 
and will make it financially 
viable for the town. 

The mayor says a lagoon 
capable of handling the 
needs of 6,000 people will be 
built in the MD of Sturgeon. 

If conditions this spring 
are favourable the new 
lagoon could be operating 
this fall. 

And if Morinville had gone 
with the St. Albert sewer line 
tie-in, presuming that its 
population had grown from 
its present 2,000 to 25,000 at 
the end of the century, it 
would have been faced with 
treatment costs of three 
quarters of a million dollars a 
year. 

Another alternative which 
still remained open to Mor- 
inville was an outfall line to 
the Sturgeon River eight 
miles away, costing $4,003,- 
000. But that could only come 
into being when Morinville 
has tripled its size.

ST. ALBERT & STURGEON GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1977 - 27 


U. of A. graduate in agriculture addresses W.I. 


By Liz McLeod 

The first meeting of 1977 
was held in Mr. and Mrs. 
Roy Schmermund’s home on 
Tuesday, January 25 at 8:30 
p.m., with 13 members pre- 
sent and two visitors - Mrs. 
Don Lois Schmermund and 
son Norman of Calahoo and 
Mrs. Tom Laura Campbell of 
Onoway. 

The eévening’s speaker, 
David Chanasyk, has his 
degree in agriculture and 
was working on gaining his 
master’s degree. After win- 
ning a sizeable scholarship 
he was doing research out of 
the University of Saskatche- 


wan in Saskatoon in the 
Department of Agricultural 
Engineering, at Bad Lake, 
where a field study was made 
on ‘‘Soil Heat and Mass 
Transfer.’’ Prairie snow is 
the chief source of water and 
they wanted to know how 
much to expect. Bad Lake 
was named thus, because it 
has picked up so many salts. 

David is the son-in-law of 
Karl and Vera Schmermund. 

The meeting came to order 
end after our new treasurer 
Mrs. G. Elsie Berry gave her 
report we delved into the 
correspondence.

Education and Development 
Association informed this 
group of the program ‘‘A 
Look Into Life’’ at Banff 
Centre, on Feb. 25-27, with 
session input including life 
planning, goal setting, life 
styles, interpersonal skills, 
besides others. Any young 
interested people from 20-35 
years can attend, with 
married couples given pre- 
ference. Registration costs 
$70 per couple and $40 per 
single. Registration must be 
completed before February 
4th. Anyone wishing to take 
this course may phone 429- 
1293 or 429-1266 for infor- 
mation. 

Another letter from Pat 
Doerkson, D.H.E., Morin- 
ville, informed us as to 
sessions that could be held 
previous to our annual Hor- 
ticulture show to help in 
arranging and preparing 
flowers and vegetables for a 
show. There was also a letter 
from Regional Director Mr. 
Bill Dent regarding judges 
for the show. 

The letter from Albi Cal- 
man, consultant for Alberta 
Culture Film and Literary 
Arts told us they received our 
entry, ‘‘Calahoo Trails’’ a 
history book, for the compe- 
tition in the Alberta Regional 
History Award for consider- 
ation. 

The letter from Betty 
Sparrow was an invitation to 
this WI to the dedication 
ceremonies of the recently 
published history book ‘*Hil- 
ls of Hope’’ on Saturday, 
Feb. 5 at 2 p.m. in the 
Duffield Hall. This history 
was written as a tribute to 
the pioneers who settled that 
portion of Alberta which now 
consists of nine townships in 
the County of Parkland. 
Everyone is welcome and 
lunch will be served. 

A thank you card was 
received from Mary Dalheim 

In new business, 
members were asked if this 
group should host the 1978 
Conference and it was 
decided to give the invitation 
to do so, at this constituency 
conference. 

Quilting is always a way to 
relax while sewing, so Mrs. 
F. Wheatley brought two 


the, 


patterns and the material to 
choose from and it was 
decided to make another 
Friendship Quilt. To have 
your name on same, the cost 
will be SO cents and anyone, 
men, women and children’s 
names will be welcomed and 
not just WI members. Mrs. 
F, Wheatley and Mrs. V. 
Albrecht are in charge of this 
venture. Contact any Cala- 
hoo WI member to submit 
your name. 

Motions were made and 
carried that we donate $25 
each to Pennies for Friend- 
ship and to the Office Fund. 

It was decided to let Mary 
Dalheim speak on WI matt- 
ers at every meeting this 
year to better acquaint all 
members on the work of the 
Institute worldwide and our 
roll in working for home and 
country. 

At the director's meeting it 
was decided to hold the Arts 
and Crafts show in Calahoo 
in conjunction with the Hor- 
ticulture show on August 24. 

Also at this meeting Elsie 
Berry, who was our delegate, 
gave her comprehensive 
report of the District Con- 
ference held in the Grey 
Nuns Centre on January 
18-19. 

The fact that there is an 
increasing amount of TV 
violence portrayed, was dis- 
cussed, and the best way to 
get action, is for everyone to 
write to their member of 
Parliament. 

Isabell Wheatley was pre- 
sented with an A.W.1. pin for 
one year’s regular atten- 
dance. 

Mrs. J. Addie Thatcher 
was presented with a plant 
by Flowers and Card con- 
venor, Mrs. C. Bergstreiser, 
in memory of her late mother 
- Mrs. Schultz. 

We thanked Isabell for 
typing the books as she 
passed them around to each 
member. 

For the Roll Call we have 
the used stamps and Christ- 
mas cards in January but this 
time we added an item of 
apparel or a joke or a reading 
in keeping with Robbie 
Burns Day. 

We welcomed our newest 
member, Mrs, Tom Laura 


J 


Campbell of Onoway. 

Mrs. V. Cecile Berry won 
the door prize that was 
brought by Mrs. W. Tona 
Christen. Games supplied by 
the hostess were played. 

Lunch and friendly visiting 
ensued and happy birthday

ever happening again. 

The girls are looking 
forward to receiving their 
new uniforms in the near 
future. They have all been 
measured and the latest 
word is ‘pretty soon.’’ The 
boys will not get their 
uniforms right away, but we 
all hope that it will not be 
long. The old ones have 
served long and well, 

The first of several bake

of the following people: Paul 
Ellis (president); Gary Smith 
(past-president); Norm Ch- 
alifoux (treasurer); Diane

Mulligan, Denise Houle, Ed 
Nattrass, Ed Barr, Allan 
Bentz, Dave Phillips, Mar- 
garet Yacyshyn, Ruby Khu-

Caldwell. However, in addi- 
tion to the above mentioned 
people, the successful op- 
eration of Frontier Daze will 
again be largely dependent 
on the help of many comm- 
unity members. 

One item coming out of a 
recent committee meeting 
concerns the charge for 
rental of the International

1977 the rental fee for any 
private social functions has 
been increased from the 
present $30 to $45. This 
includes a $20 deposit which 
will be refunded if the 


building has been cleaned 
after use.

Lions Club are spear- 
heading a ‘‘Neighborhood 
Watch” for our fair town. If 
there is enough interest 
shown by other clubs and 
organizations, an organiza- 
tion will be formed. Neigh- 
borhood Watch is a program 
aimed at making people 
more aware of whats happ- 
ening in the community and 
reporting questionable ac- 
tivity. Prevention of crime is 
stressed, with teaching peo- 
ple how to identify their 
objects, since proof of 
ownership is often needed. 
Black light pen (which can

light) or engraving drivers 
licence numbers or social 
insurance numbers on all 
valuables is a good idea. Lets 
hope that this program will 
be undertaken for all our 
benefit. 


Heritage Lake has been

By Marg Bentz 

Morinville Motors shutout 
last year champs Villeneuve 
4-0 in exciting league action 
last Friday night in Riviere 
Qui Barre. Seniors finally got 
it together after back to back 
losses (Villeneuve and Bon 
Accord) and managed to play 
a full game of hockey, in fact 
for the first two periods they 
even gave up taking cheap 
penalties and led the game 
3-0 on two goals by Dexter 
Dersch and one goal (and two 
assists) by assistant captain 
Carl Royan. Defenceman 
Terry Maslyk also picked up 
an assist on Dersch’s first 
goal while team captain 
O'Neil Chevalier helped set 
up Royan’s goal, then put the 
frosting on the cake and 
scored, assisted by Roger 
Chalifoux, in the third 
period. 

Bill Tieland played an 
excellent game in goal and 
for his efforts received a 
shutout. 

It’s also very reassuring to 
see that so many Villeneuve 
fans enjoy the Morinville 
sports section of the Gazette.

been changed. Here is a list

Morinville Library News 


The Library Board held its 
annual meeting for the elec- 
tion of officers. The resig- 
nation of Mrs. Beryl Lindley 
due to other commitments 
was accepted with regret. 
Mrs. Lindley served on the 
board for three years, the 
last two as chairman. 

Mrs. Pauline Underwood 
was elected unanimously as 
the new chairman. Mrs. 
Dorothy Dubord continues in 
office for the third year as 
secretary-treasurer, and the 
rest of the board remains 
unchanged with Mrs. Lor- 
aine Fergusson, Mrs. Char. 
lotte St. Germaine, Mrs. Lil 
Boddez, Mrs. J. R. Clark as 
vice-chairman and Mr. Gar- 
net Wiley the town council 
representative. 

The library hours continue 
at the same times - Monday 2 
-Sp.m., Tuesday 6 -9 p.m., 
Wednesday - Closed; Thurs- 
day 2-Sp.m., Friday 3 - 9 
p-m., Saturday 10 a.m. - 1 
p-m. 

Many new books arrived 
during the month of January 
and several patrons reques- 
ted books which were ob- 
tained through the inter- 
library loan system. A 
telephone is to be installed in 
the library to facilitate use of 
the system. 

A few titles from the new 
books - ‘'Trinity’’ by Leon 
Uris. A story of Ireland 
involving three families, 
their religious differences, 
their loves and trials. With 
the new interest in Sherlock 
Holmes caused in part by 
Nicholas Meyer's ‘‘The sev- 
en percent solution’’ and 
“The Westend Horror’’ (bo- 
th of which we have), ‘*The 
Complete Sherlock Holmes 
Treasury’’ should please 
many. Another book which 
will be of interest to many is 
**Calahoo Trails’. A history 
of Calahoo and the surr- 
ounding district. Many pic- 
tures of many familiar faces 
and many amusing stories of 
the pioneers to that district. 
Non-fiction has received a 
good boost also. ‘‘An Ency-

There were 37 members 
and three visitors present, 
Ed and Martha Bell, acc- 
ompanied by Jessie Miller, 
all from Edmonton. Mr. Bell 
showed slides which they 
had taken on a trip to 
Newfoundland and Cape 
Breton. They were beautiful 
colored slides and Mr. Bell 
narrated them very well. In 
fact, I am sure I was not the 
only one who thought how 
nice it would be to take a trip 
there. We all thoroughly 
enjoyed the afternoon's en- 
tertainment, 

Following the slides, lunch 
was provided and served by 
Eula Mabbutt, Pansie Da- 
vidson and Connie Roberts. 
Thank you very much ladies, 
it was delicious. A birthday

Legal 4C -4H News 


By Diane Royan 

Public speaking is an art. 
It is not like math, physics, 
chemistry, or any of the other 
sciences. It does not have a 
tight or wrong; its ex- 
cellence, like all other arts, is 
measured by a value judge- 
ment and slated in degrees. 
A painter tries to improve his 


paintings, a speaker tries to 
improve his speech. 

4H public speaking pro- 
vides an opportunity for all 
members to practise this art 
and enhances their indivi- 
dual levels of excellence. 
Feb. 14 and 21 are our club 
speaking finals. We will have 
judges who will determine 
the winners, who will then go

ST. ALBERT & STURGEON GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1977 - 39 


THANK-YOU ST. ALBERT 
FOR A VER Y SUCCESSFUL 1976 


We are a young and aggressive Real Estate company, 
owned and operated by residents of St. Albert. Our 
head office is located in St. Albert with a Branch office 
in Spruce Grove. Our affiliation with Century 21 
enables us to be part of the largest Real Estate 
organization in the world with over 3,000 offices and 
30,000 salespeople. 


In only two years of experience CENTURY 21 BELL 
REALTY is proud to have achieved the status of being 
in the top 10% in sales volume in the Edmonton Real 
Estate Multiple Listing Service for 1976. 


What's the secret of 
success in the St. Albert real 
estate market? 

If you ask Keith Davidson, 
president of Bell Realty Ltd., 
he'll tell you it lies in running 
a truly local company--but 
one with national connec- 
tions. According to Mr, 
Davidson, the fact remains 
that if you are a_ local 
company, your clients are 
treated as your friends, not 
just a listing in a ledger ora 
number buried in a com- 
puter. 

Mr. Davidson points out 
that Bell Realty enjoyed an 
extremely good first year in 
the business. With the in- 
auguration of Century 21 in 
St. Albert in 1976, the 
growth in his second year 
tripled! The affiliation of 
Century 21 has attracted 
more and more people to the 
services of Bell Realty Ltd, 

To Mr. Davidson, it's a 
nice feeling to be a St. Albert 
resident and conduct a local 
business owned and opera- 
ted by St. Albertans, while 
having the whole of Canada 
in which to house his clients! 


SINCE JANUARY Ist, 1977, AGAIN WE WOULD 
LIKE TO THANK: -
